Table - best surf conditions forecast for Jacaraipe over the next 16 days.
The Lowdown
Alright, let’s talk about the one break on offer: Jacaraipe. This is a sandbar setup, fairly consistent, and it’s exposed to the east. The water’s sitting at 23°C, which is pretty much normal for this time of year, so no surprises there.
The first window that’s worth a look is early on Saturday the 20th of September. We’ve got a 1.4m east-southeast swell with a short period of 7 seconds, but the wind is light and cross-offshore from the north. That’ll keep things clean. The combined energy is moderate at 283, and the guidance rates this as having good surf conditions. It’s a small-scale option for the patient surfer.
Then, keep your eye on the morning of Monday the 28th of September. That’s the standout of the whole run. We’ve got a 1.5m east-northeast swell with a 7-second period, but here’s the kicker: light north wind, cross-offshore, and the combined energy is still solid at 251. The word is good surf conditions again. It’s not a massive day, but the wind’s right, the swell’s punchy enough for a sandbar, and crowds are only a problem sometimes. If you’ve been waiting, that’s the morning to go.
Before that, Tuesday the 22nd of September morning also looks acceptable – clean with a 1.5m east swell – but the Monday the 28th is the one that’s got a little more promise.
Overall, it’s a patchy 16 days. There are a few cleaner windows but nothing huge. If you’re after something more consistent, well, it’s not that kind of stretch. Stay tuned, forecasts shift.

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.
