The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty checking in from the local sandbar.
Right off the bat, Wednesday the 26th is looking like a solid start for us. The water is sitting at 71°, which is a bit colder than we’d usually expect for this time of year, so you might want an extra light spring suit for the morning session. The swell is coming in from the SSE with a solid 14-second period, giving us a nice, clean 3ft wave. The wind is light out of the north, keeping it cross-off and clean. The combined energy is sitting at 611, which is moderate, but the conditions are spot on for a fun, easy paddle. This is a beginner-friendly wave, so it’s perfect for getting a few cruisy ones.
Then Thursday morning, the 27th, is the real standout. We’ve got a 6ft SSE swell with a 16-second period, and the wind is going glassy, dead calm from the NNW. That’s what we live for. The wave energy is strong at 1643, and it’s going to be absolutely clean. This is for experienced surfers only, as it’s a bit of a handful, but if you’re ready for it, it’s going to be excellent. The afternoon is also glassy, with a slightly smaller 5ft swell, so there’s a window for a solid session all day.
From Friday the 28th onward, things get messy. The morning of the 28th is still clean with a 4ft SSE swell, but the wind picks up to 16 mph in the afternoon, turning it lumpy and cross-onshore. After that, we’ve got a long stretch of poor conditions. Saturday and Sunday are a write-off with strong onshore winds. The following week, from the 31st through to the 10th of September, is mostly blown out or marginal, with a lot of wind chop and short, weak periods. There are a few mornings with clean conditions, but the swell is mostly short-period and the wind is never quite right. The combined energy stays in the moderate range, but the quality just isn’t there.
So, if you’re keen, target Wednesday morning and Thursday the 27th. That’s your window. The rest of the 16 days is a waiting game.
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.
