The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what’s on offer at Jacaraipe for the next couple of weeks. I won’t sugarcoat it—there’s a lot of flat spells and blown-out afternoons, but a couple of mornings have some real potential if you can wait it out.
The first week is mostly a write-off. Thursday the 30th morning has a tiny 0.4m SSE swell with an 11-second period. Water temp is 74°, right on average for this time of year. The energy is weak (81) and conditions are just ordinary, even though it’s glassy at first. The wind goes onshore by the afternoon and it’s all over.
From Friday the 31st through to Sunday the 9th of August, it’s a long grind of onshore and cross-shore winds, choppy water, and poor surf. Swells stay small (0.4m to 1.5m) with short periods (5 to 8 seconds)—mostly windswell. You’ll see some clean mornings on Sunday the 2nd, Monday the 3rd, Tuesday the 4th, and Wednesday the 5th, with light offshore N winds, but the swell energy (167–242) is only moderate and waves are under 1.2m. Not enough power to get excited about. Every afternoon gets shredded by strong NE winds.
Now, Monday the 10th of August—this is the first real glimmer. Morning: 1.5m ENE swell, 7-second period, light offshore N wind, clean. The combined energy is a strong 415. It’s not huge, but for a fairly consistent sandbar, it’s the best we’ve seen. The short period means the waves will be a bit lumpy and quick.
The standout is Tuesday the 11th of August, morning. We get 1.8m from the ENE, 8-second period, with a light NNE cross-shore wind. The combined energy jumps to 803—that’s strong, proper push. It’ll be punchy and should offer some fun walls. Jacaraipe is a sandbar, so with that 8-second period, the waves might not be super long, but there’ll be plenty of power. Crowds are possible here, so don’t expect to have it to yourself.
Wednesday the 12th and Thursday the 13th mornings are still clean with offshore N winds, 1.5m to 1.7m ENE swell, but energy is lower and the wind gets more side-shore. Still surfable, but not as good as Tuesday.
Friday the 14th morning: 1.3m E swell, 9-second period, clean with light offshore N wind, and strong energy (479). A decent way to finish.
Bottom line: ignore the first ten days—too much wind and not enough swell. Your best window is the morning of Tuesday the 11th of August, with Monday the 10th as a good backup.
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.
