Jacaraipe Surf Forecast and Surf Report

G’day, Rusty here. Let’s talk about Jacaraipe in feet and miles per hour, the way it should be. Over the next couple of weeks, it’s a typical story for this spot – plenty of chop and cross-shore wind to fight through, but a few clean windows pop up if you’re patient. Water temp is about normal for this time of year, nothing wild.

First real chance to get wet is Sunday the 2nd of August. The morning session is your best bet. You’ve got a light breeze, a 4ft swell from the east with a 7-second period, and moderate combined energy (219). The wind is cross-shore, so it’s a little bumpy, but for a beginner-friendly sandbar that’s fairly consistent, you’ll get a few fun ones.

The absolute standout, no question, is Friday the 7th of August. Early morning you’ll be greeted with glassy conditions – wind is a whisper from the southwest, barely a breath. Swell is 4ft from the northeast, 7-second period, moderate energy (302). It’s clean, it’s smooth, and it’s the best session of the whole run. Get out there before the afternoon storm risk and onshore wind roll in.

After that, it’s a bit of a lull. Saturday the 8th is small and choppy. But Sunday the 9th of August offers another glassy morning, with 3ft of swell from the SSE and a long 11-second period, combined energy (210). That long period will give the waves some shape, but it’s a sandbar, so it might break a bit straight. Still, glassy conditions with that much period make it a solid option for the early crew.

Looking into the second week, things get a little more uncertain but still interesting. Wednesday the 12th of August morning looks clean with a light offshore wind, 5ft of swell from the SSE at 10 seconds, and strong combined energy (443). That’s a lot of push, could be a fun one for a confident beginner or intermediate, but it’s over a week out so don’t lock it in just yet.

From the 13th to the 15th, it’s mostly cross-off or cross-on winds with moderate swell around 3ft to 5ft. Nothing jumps out as a must-surf, but the morning of the 14th of August has a clean 5ft from the ESE with a short 8-second period and strong energy (363). It’s a maybe, but not a day to plan your life around.

Bottom line: if you can only pick one session, make it Friday the 7th of August. The glassy conditions and that 4ft of east swell will give you the best, cleanest waves of the whole forecast. The rest is a waiting game.

Rusty.
