The Lowdown
G’day, I’m Rusty, and here’s what the surf’s looking like for the next couple of weeks.
It’s a slow start along the sandbar at Jacaraipe, with a gap of a few days before we see anything worth paddling out for. The overall pattern is a mix of small to moderate swell, but the wind is the real spoiler for most of the first week. The water temperature is sitting at 73°, which is pretty much spot on for this time of year, so nothing unusual there.
The first real standout comes on Saturday morning, the 5th of September. That early session is a beauty—glassed-off conditions with a light southerly breeze, making it clean as a whistle. The swell is 5 ft from the ENE with a period of 7 seconds, and the combined energy of all swells directed here is 311, which is moderate. It’s a beginner-friendly wave at that size, and the sandbar setup should give you a fun little wall. Crowds are possible here, so get out early if you can.
The next true highlight rolls around on Friday morning, the 11th of September. The swell has bumped up to 6 ft from the east, with an 8-second period, and the combined energy jumps to 900 (moderate). The wind is a gentle cross-shore from the NE, so it’s a little lumpy but still rideable. This is the biggest clean option of the run, and for a confident surfer, it’s the best on offer—just be aware that at 6 ft, it’s starting to get a bit much for complete beginners.
Later in the second week, on Wednesday the 16th of September, there are two sessions with 7 ft from the ESE, and the wind is light and cross-shore from the SSW. The combined energy is strong at 825 and 990 (moderate-strong). But honestly, that’s getting too big for this sandbar—it’s really only for the experienced crew, and even then, the long period (8 seconds) means it’ll be a bit closed out. It’s more of a kite-surfing setup than a paddle-friendly wave at that size.
So, bottom line: Saturday the 5th is the pick for a clean, fun session, and Friday the 11th is your best bet for a bit more push. The rest of the window is mostly let down by nagging winds or poor conditions.
Rusty.

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.
