Jacaraipe Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let’s get into it. The next couple of weeks are a mixed bag, but there are a few windows where it’s gonna be worth getting wet. Water temp is about average at 74°, so no worries there. The start of the period is pretty grim, but things start to clean up as we head towards the middle of the month.

The first real chance is on Monday the 10th. It’s small, around 2ft, but the wind is light and offshore, so it’ll be clean. This is a wave for the longboard, not a hollower. The energy is weak, sitting at 210, so expect it to be soft.

Tuesday the 11th sees energy jump to 709, but it’s ridden with cross-onshore winds and rain, making it lumpy and poor. Not worth your time. The swell drops a bit, but the wind stays messy into Wednesday the 12th. The morning shows 4ft with an onshore wind, which is a no-go. By Thursday the 13th, the wind swings offshore again, but it’s still just 4ft and the energy is moderate at 439. It’s clean, but nothing to get too excited about.

Friday the 14th is where things start to look proper. The morning shows 4ft of SSE swell with a 14-second period – that’s some nice, long-period groundswell. The wind is light and offshore, with the energy at a healthy 646. The forecast is saying “very good” and for this spot, that’s a big call. This is your stand-out morning.

The weekend blows up a bit. Saturday the 15th has more size, 5ft, but a fresh cross-shore wind ruins it. Sunday the 16th is similar, with 5ft and 6ft but onshore winds and rain. It’s a mess. Monday the 17th sees the swell drop to 5ft but the period shortens to 8 seconds and the wind is onshore – that’s just a lumpy close-out.

Now we get a bit of a reset. The middle of the week, from the 18th, the wind goes offshore again but the swell is junky, coming from the E/ENE with a short period. It’s 5ft but with only 8-second period, it’s going to be soft and disorganised. Wednesday the 19th morning is clean with light offshore winds and 5ft, but the energy is still weak at 258.

From there, it peters out. The wind stays mostly cross or onshore, and the swell drops off. There’s a brief flicker on the morning of Saturday the 22nd with 3ft of S swell with an 11-second period, but the NE wind is howling by the afternoon.

The last call for the window is on Sunday the 23rd. The morning has 3ft of SSE swell with a 14-second period and a moderate N cross-offshore wind. The energy is strong at 698. It’s promising, but it’s over a week away, so take it with a grain of salt. It could be a fun one.

Honestly, if you’re picking your battles, Friday the 14th is your best bet. Clean, decent size for the spot, and good energy. The Sunday the 23rd morning is the other one to keep an eye on, but it’s a long way out.

Rusty.
