The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty comin' at ya from the beach.
Look, I'm gonna be straight with you. For the next ten days or so, Jacaraipe is mostly gonna be a write-off for us paddle surfers. The winds are a mess for the first five days, mostly cross or cross-onshore, keeping things lumpy and chunky. It ain't gonna be pretty.
The first real glimmer of hope shows up on Tuesday, August 25th. We get a fleeting window of glassy conditions in the morning. The swell is a modest 3ft from the SSE, but here’s the kicker – the period is a very long 15 seconds. That’s proper groundswell energy, with a combined energy reading of (510). That many seconds between sets means the paddle out will be easier, but at a sandbar break like Jacaraipe, a swell that long can straighten out a bit. Still, with zero wind and glassy water, it’s your best chance for a clean, if small, wave. Water temp is sittin' around 73°, which is pretty normal for this time of year.
Now, if you've got the skills and are willin' to wait, Wednesday, August 26th is the standout. The morning is your window. The swell bumps up to 5ft from the SSE, with an even longer period of 17 seconds. The combined energy jumps way up to (1590). That's strong, powerful stuff. The wind is a light offshore from the north, keeping the faces clean. This is primo juice for experienced surfers, but that size and period at a sandbar might make it challenging for the punters. The afternoon gets blown out by a strong cross-onshore. So, Wednesday morning is the one.
After that, things get messy again. There’s a whole heap of days from the 27th of August through the 6th of September that are just poor. Lots of onshore wind, short-period windswell, and a general lack of quality. You get a brief look on Sunday morning, September 6th, with some clean 4ft swell, but it’s a week and a half away, so keep an eye on it.
Honestly, for now, if the wind is screaming, this setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. The waves are there, but the wind is just not playing ball for us.
Rusty.

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.

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.
