The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s coming for Jacaraipe.
The next couple of weeks are a real mixed bag, starting off slow before some clean windows open up. Water temp is sitting around 72°, which is about average for the season.
The first chance for a wave is Tuesday morning, the 8th. Swell is 4 ft from the E with a 7-second period, and a light offshore wind from the W keeps things clean. Combined energy is moderate (280). It’s small but tidy for a morning session.
Wednesday morning the 9th looks like a solid pick. Swell bumps to 5 ft from the E, still short-period at 7 seconds, but with a light cross-offshore from the N. Energy is moderate (381) and it’s clean. This is probably the best window in the first week for a decent, rippable wave – just know that crowds can show up at Jacaraipe sometimes.
After that, afternoons get messy with stronger onshore winds, and the mornings through the 11th and 12th are only marginal – clean but weak. Friday afternoon the 11th has a big 15-second period groundswell but it’s ruined by a 19 mph cross-shore.
The first true standout is Monday morning the 14th. Glassy, flat calm, with 3 ft from the SSE and a 10-second period. Energy is moderate (321). That’s a proper clean, glassy morning with long lines. A real highlight.
The big one is Sunday morning the 20th. Glassy again, 3 ft from the SSE but with a 16-second period – very long-period groundswell. Combined energy is strong (751). This is the session you wait for. The sandbar at Jacaraipe should handle it well. Best of the whole 16 days.
Monday the 21st is just a small, clean leftover.
Bottom line: the 20th is the standout, with the 14th a close second. First few days are a bust until Tuesday the 8th.
Rusty.

Information about the Jacaraipe Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Jacaraipe provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Jacaraipe can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Jacaraipe surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Jacaraipe) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Jacaraipe may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
