The Lowdown
G'day, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what Jacaraipe’s got cookin' over the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, the start of this run is a tough one. There’s a real flat spell with nothing worth paddling out for from now until late Monday the 24th of August. The wind is just too messy and the swell is weak and junky. You're lookin' at a solid three days of poor conditions, with combined wave energy barely hittin' 209 (moderate energy) at best, but the wind is fresh and cross-shore, ruining any chance of a clean wave.
Monday morning the 24th, things finally start to look a little more human. The wind drops right off to glassy, with a tiny 1 ft SSE swell creepin' in, period up at 13 seconds. It's a long-period groundswell – better for a reef or point, but at this size it’s surfable. Water temp is 73°, pretty much average for the time of year. The energy is still weak (118), so don’t expect much push.
The standout window really opens up on Wednesday the 26th of August. That morning, Jacaraipe is lookin’ clean with a light north wind blowin’ cross-off. We’ve got a solid 4 ft swell rollin’ in from the SSE with a very long 17-second period – that’s proper groundswell energy, and the combined energy is strong at 1017. This is the pick of the entire outlook. The waves will have good shape and power, but at that size and period, it's more for experienced surfers who can handle the longer waits between sets.
Then Thursday morning the 27th is another beauty. Glassy conditions again, with a 5 ft SSE swell, 14-second period, and combined energy crankin’ at 1125. That’s strong wave energy. Again, the size and period mean it's best for the crew who know what they’re doin’. The afternoon falls apart with a cross-onshore wind.
After that, it gets pretty average again. A lot of fresh north-east winds and lumpy cross-shore chop dominate the rest of the run. Saturday the 5th of September morning actually shows a big 8 ft NNE swell with clean conditions and moderate energy (1123), but that’s way too big for Jacaraipe – the forecast notes it’s too big for the break, so I’d steer clear unless you’re a machine.
So, for the whole 16-day run, the only true standouts are the mornings of Wednesday the 26th and Thursday the 27th. Get on it if you can, because the rest of the fortnight is mostly blown out or flat.
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.
