The Lowdown
Right, let’s have a look at what’s on offer around here. It’s a bit of a mixed bag, to be honest – nothing firing hard right now, but there are a few windows if you’re keen.
The first real chance to get wet is Friday morning, 24th July. The wind is set to be light and cross-off from the north, so the sandbars at Jacaraipe should clean up nicely. We’re looking at a small 4ft easterly swell, with a moderate combined energy of 352. The period is short at 8 seconds, so it’ll be a bit lumpy and not much push, but clean enough for a beginner to have a go. The water is sitting at 74°, which is pretty much normal for this time of year.
The best of the outlook, though, is Monday morning, 27th July. That’s the standout. The wind goes light and cross-off from the north again, but the swell turns south-southeast, with a longer 12-second period. That’s a proper groundswell, 3ft of it, but because it’s longer period it’ll have more shape and energy. The combined energy is 229 – moderate. Now, because it’s a long-period SSE swell, the beach breaks might be a bit straight, but Jacaraipe is a sandbar setup, so it should still offer some fun lines. It’s only for the morning though – the afternoon turns into a cross-on mess.
After that, it’s a real struggle. The middle of the week sees a lot of onshore wind and short, lumpy windswell. There’s a few mornings with cross-off winds, like Thursday 30th, Tuesday 4th August, and Wednesday 5th August, but the swell is tiny or weak, and the combined energy is low – often under 200. The best of those is Wednesday morning, 5th August: 3ft from the east, 8 seconds, with a clean cross-off northerly. The energy is 263, so it’s moderate, but it’s not a high-quality wave. Just a chance to get a few small ones.
Honestly, the whole 16-day window is pretty quiet. There are long gaps between the few decent mornings. For the most part, the surf is poor, and the afternoons are all blown out. If you’re a beginner, stick to the Friday 24th and Monday 27th mornings. For anyone else, it’s a waiting game – this area tends not to stay flat for too long, so the forecasts could change.

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.
