The Lowdown

Alright, let’s break it down in feet and miles for you.

Overall, Jacaraipe is looking at a mixed bag over the next couple of weeks. There’s some decent swell showing up, but the wind’s gonna be the big factor. One morning stands out as a proper gem – the rest is a bit of a fight.

The water’s at 72°, which is a touch cooler than average for this time of year – about a degree and a half off. You’ll want a light wetsuit or at least a good rashie.

The absolute best session in the whole window is Tuesday morning, 25 August. We’ve got a 4ft swell from the SSE with a very long period of 15 seconds – that’s real groundswell. The combined energy is a strong 697, so it’s got punch. And the wind? Dead flat. Glassy. Perfect conditions. The break takes swell from the east, and with that long period, those lines are gonna wrap in smooth. The swell’s over 5ft, so this is for the experienced crew – beginners will find it a handful. The sets will have long gaps, making the paddle-out easier, but the wave quality will be top-notch.

Before that, Monday 24 August morning offers a smaller option. A 3ft SSE swell with a 10-second period, combined energy of 226 – moderate. The wind is a light cross-off from the SW, keeping things clean. Good for a small-wave board.

After that Tuesday highlight, things go downhill. Wednesday 26 August morning is still clean with cross-off winds and a 3ft swell, but the energy is dropping. The afternoon gets ruined by a strong cross-on wind. Thursday 27 August sees the swell jump to 6ft – big, with energy up to 1507 – but the wind is cross or cross-on, making it choppy. The period is 16 seconds, but the wind just kills it. This kind of setup on a beach with that chop might be more fun for a kite than a paddle.

By Friday 28 August, the swell drops to 4ft with cross-off winds in the morning, so it’s clean, but the energy is moderate (485). Marginal. Saturday 29 and Sunday 30 August have chest-to-head high swell (5ft to 7ft), but the period drops to a short 7 seconds – that’s windswell. It’ll be weak and lumpy, with strong winds. Not worth it.

There’s a gap of several days with nothing to get excited about, until Monday 1 September. That morning has a 6ft ENE swell with an 8-second period, energy at 347, and the wind is glassy again. Clean conditions. The swell is over 5ft, so it’s for the better surfers. The short period will make the face a bit bumpy, but the glassy wind will help. It’s a decent backup, but nowhere near as good as the 25th.

After that, the first week of September is a write-off – strong winds, short periods, poor quality. A few mornings on 4 and 5 September have clean-ish conditions with 3ft SSE swells and 13-second periods, but the wind states are not ideal. Low crowds, but low quality too.

So, the standout is Tuesday 25 August morning. No contest. The second pick is Monday 1 September morning, but it’s not in the same league. The rest is a waiting game.

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.
