The Lowdown
G'day, I'm Rusty. Let's have a look at what's on the cards for Jacaraipe over the next 16 days.
Truth be told, the outlook is a bit of a mixed bag. We're looking at a long stretch here with plenty of days where the conditions just aren't coming together. The water temp is sitting around 73°F, which is pretty much what you'd expect for this time of year, nothing unusual there.
The first real chance to get wet isn't until Monday the 14th of September. There's a bit of a pulse showing, but it's small. Monday morning brings a light onshore wind with a 4ft S swell, period around 10 seconds – not great, but then Monday afternoon is where it gets interesting. The wind drops to glassy, ENE at just 3 mph, and the wave energy is moderate (456). The swell is 4ft from the SSE with a 9-second period. It's clean, it's glassy, and it's the first real standout of the forecast. The crowd profile says "sometimes" so you might have a few mates out, but nothing too hectic.
After that, it's a bit of a drought. The next decent window appears on Thursday the 18th of September. Another glassy morning, with the wind swinging light NE at 3 mph. The swell is 4ft from the SSE, period stretching to 11 seconds, and the energy is solid (400). It's a clean, glassy setup, and the conditions are good. This is your second standout.
Then we skip ahead to Saturday the 19th of September. A clean morning with a cross-offshore N breeze at 9 mph. The swell is 4ft from the ESE, but the period is a short 6 seconds, so the waves will be a bit weak and crumbly. Still, it's clean and rideable, so it's worth a look if you're desperate.
The last real highlight is Tuesday the 22nd of September. Another glassy morning, with the wind dead calm from the N at 3 mph. The swell is 4ft from the NE, period still short at 6 seconds, but the energy is moderate (272). It's clean, it's glassy, and it's a morning session you'll want to be on.
So, to sum it up: the best of the lot is Monday the 14th of September afternoon and Thursday the 18th of September morning. Both offer glassy conditions and clean surf. The crowds can be a factor at Jacaraipe, but on those days, with the clean conditions, it's worth the paddle-out. The rest of the 16 days is mostly a write-off – a lot of cross-shore wind, lumpy conditions, and generally poor quality. The gaps between the good windows are long, so keep an eye on the forecast, but for now, those two sessions are your best bets.
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.
