Alright, let’s get into it. The surf around Jacaraipe over the next couple of weeks is a real mixed bag. We've got some sweet, clean windows early on, but the back half looks pretty flat and blown out.
Let’s start with Tuesday morning, July 7th. That’s where the action is. A clear sky, light offshore wind out of the north. You’ve got a clean 4ft SSE swell rolling in with a nice 11-second period. The energy is moderate, reading 567. This is a proper sandbar break that’s fairly consistent, and with the wind light and cross-off, it should be peeling nicely. It’s a beginner-friendly wave, too, so a good call for everyone. Water temp is dead on average for this time of year at 75°.
Wednesday the 8th is a washout. The wind swings onshore and the swell gets messy. Not worth the paddle. Thursday the 9th is just marginal at best.
Now, here’s your standout. Friday morning, July 10th. This is the one to put a pin in. It’s dead glass—zero wind. The swell is a touch smaller, 4ft, but it’s from the ESE with a really long 14-second period. That groundswell energy is strong, hitting 618. Long period like that at a sandbar can sometimes straighten out, but with these conditions being so clean, you’ve just got to get out there. It’ll be a proper session.
Saturday morning, July 11th, is another good one. Clean again, north cross-off, with a bit more size at 5ft from the SE, 13 seconds. Energy is still high, around 609. The afternoon gets a bit ropey with onshore wind.
After that, things drop off hard. From Sunday the 12th all the way through to Tuesday the 22nd, it’s mostly small, weak, and messy. There are a few mornings that look semi-clean, but the swell energy is low, often under 300, and those short 7-second periods are just not gonna give you any drive. A lot of this stretch is junk. Could be more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer, with those strong side-shore winds and fat waves.
But, by Tuesday morning, July 21st, we get a little flicker. A clean 3ft E swell with a 7-second period, energy at 233. The wind is light and cross-off. It’s not big, but it’s clean and rideable. It’s a long way out, so keep an eye on it.
So, if I’m locking one in, I’m all over that Friday morning, July 10th. That’s the cream of the crop.

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.
