The Lowdown
Alright, my friends, Rusty here. Let's talk surf. We've got a long outlook ahead, and I ain't gonna lie, the start is a bit of a bummer. We gotta wade through some junky conditions before we find the gems.
From Thursday the 6th through Sunday the 9th, it's just a mess. Windswell and bad winds. The swell is there, but it's short-period and the cross/onshore winds are just ruining it. Not worth the effort.
Our first real chance is Monday morning, the 10th. A new, longer-period swell pushes in, a 0.6m (2ft) S groundswell at 13 seconds. The wind is light and offshore, so it should be glassy. The energy is weak, but it will be clean. Small, but surfable.
Then it gets messy again. Tuesday the 11th brings a bigger 2.1m (7ft) S swell, but it's short-period and blowing a cross-shore 30 km/h. A total washout.
Now, circle your calendars for Thursday the 13th. That morning is looking like the best of the entire forecast. We've got a clean 1.0m (3ft) SSE groundswell at 12 seconds, with a light offshore N wind. This is proper surf. Nice lines, clean faces, and enough energy to be fun. The combined energy is strong at 575. This is the one to be there for.
The 14th and 15th have similar but smaller clean windows, so there are backup options.
The weekend is blown out again with more southerly winds.
Next week, we see a return to cleaner conditions but with shorter-period E/NE swells. Monday the 18th and Wednesday the 19th mornings both have clean offshore winds and decent-sized swell, but they won't have the power or the shine of that Thursday the 13th window.
Water temp is 74°F, which is normal for the season.
So do yourself a favor: be patient, pass on the junky days, and be on it Thursday morning.
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.
