Alright, let me break it down for you, feet and degrees style. We’re looking at Jacaraipe – a sandbar break that’s pretty consistent but picky about wind. Water temp is around 74°, so about normal for the season. But the first few days are a total dud.

Saturday 11 July kicks off with a 4ft SE swell, 13-second period, but the wind is onshore from the ESE and the waves are a mess. Nothing doing. Sunday 12 July morning looks cleaner with light cross-off north winds and 4ft SE swell, but it’s only called marginal. Monday and Tuesday (13th and 14th) are blown to bits with strong cross-shore winds from the SSW and S – lumpy, cross-choppy, and no fun.

Wednesday 15 July throws up a solid 7ft SSE swell with a 12-second period and a combined energy of 1026 – that’s a lot of power. But the wind is still cross-shore and it’s bumpy. For a sandbar, that’s not ideal.

The big standout is Thursday 16 July. This is the one. We’ve got a 8ft SE swell with a long 13-second period and a massive 1671 combined energy – serious, serious power. The wind is a light cross-on from the east, so it’s not glassy, but everything else lines up. The size though – over 8ft – means this is for experts only. Beginners, stay well away. The SE direction is exactly what this break wants.

Friday 17 July morning is your next best bet: light cross-off north winds, 6ft SE swell, and conditions called very good. That’s a clean session for anyone experienced. The afternoon turns onshore and choppy again.

From there it drops off. Saturday 18 July morning has 4ft ESE swell and light cross-off winds – clean but small. The rest of that week into the next is mostly small, ordinary surf from 2ft to 5ft, with onshore winds in the afternoons. There’s a small clean window on Saturday 25 July morning with 3ft SSE swell, but it’s nothing special.

And then Sunday 26 July morning offers a late pulse: 5ft SE swell, 13-second period, clean cross-off north winds, and combined energy of 1135. That’s nearly two weeks out, so it’s a long-range maybe – promising, but not certain.

So the short of it: Thursday 16 July is your big-wave, expert-only standout. Friday 17 July morning is the cleaner, more manageable option. The rest is mostly small, blown out, or just nothing special.

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.
