The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here with a look at what’s coming our way for the next couple of weeks. To be honest out of the gate, it’s a bit of a mixed bag. The early days are pretty rough around the edges, but we’ve got some clean windows if you can pick your moments.
The first real standout is a bit of a wait. We’ve got some proper energy arriving on Thursday the 27th in the morning. The swell is up to 6 ft from the NE, with a period of 8 seconds and strong combined energy (685) – there’s some grunt in the water. The magic here is the wind: it’s offshore from the WNW at just 6 mph, so Jacaraipe should be clean and lined up. This is the pick of the bunch for confident surfers.
For the week before that, you’ll need to be patient. The weekend of the 15th and 16th is messy with onshore winds from the SE and ESE, making the 6 ft and 4 ft swells look pretty ordinary. Tuesday the 18th morning has some clean waves with a 4 ft ENE swell and light cross-offshore breeze from the North, but the energy is weak (225) so don't expect much push. Saturday the 22nd morning turns glassy with no wind at all – a 4 ft ENE swell but again low energy (114) – paddle-out will be easy, but the waves will be small and a bit gutless.
Further out, there’s another promising window on Monday the 24th morning. It’s glassy with a light WSW breeze and a long-period 3 ft SSE swell pushing through at 13 seconds. Don’t be fooled by the small height; that long period and 275 energy will wrap in with some shape. Then look at Thursday the 27th – that’s the one to circle. 6 ft, offshore, clean. After that, Friday the 28th morning has glassy conditions on a 4 ft ENE swell, and Sunday the 30th morning is glassy again with 5 ft from the NE. Late in the run, the window on the 30th is your last solid chance for clean but small surf.
Honestly, if you can wait, the Thursday the 27th session is the real standout. Keep an eye on those conditions, because when it cleans up, Jacaraipe can surprise you. For the rest, it’s mostly small, short-period windswell, and the onshore winds mess it up fast.
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.

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.
