The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty. Let's look at the local setup here at Jacaraipe. It's a sandbar break that's fairly consistent and exposed to the swell.
Right off the bat, the water temp is sitting about average for this time of year, nothing unusual to report there.
The coming week-and-a-bit is a mixed bag. We've got some poor conditions to start the weekend with a moderate cross-shore and lumpy conditions on Sunday, so don't get too excited for the 6th. Monday the 7th looks similar with a building swell, but the wind is still messy.
The real standout for the whole period looks like Tuesday the 8th. We're looking at a clean, glassy morning with a light 4ft swell from the ESE. The wind is practically nothing, so it'll be clean. It won't be huge, but for a beginner-friendly sandbar, that's as good as it gets in this run.
Another one to keep an eye on is Wednesday the 16th. We've got another glassy morning, with a 3ft swell from the SSE and a period of 12 seconds. That longer period will give the waves a bit more shape. It'll be small but clean.
Now, there are some other mornings that are clean, like the 9th, 10th, 12th, and 17th, but the swells are either smaller or the winds get too strong in the afternoon. The 11th has a very long period 16-second swell, but it's only 2ft and the wind messes up the afternoon. That long period at a sandbar might make things a bit straight, anyway.
Later in the run, things get a little more interesting but also more uncertain. The morning of the 15th of September sees a clean 5ft SSE swell with a period of 11 seconds. That's a solid size for the break and could be the best of the whole run, but the afternoon wind is nasty. And on the 18th, we've got a 7ft ESE swell coming in, which is getting into the expert territory size-wise and the cross-off wind won't be enough to keep it clean.
Honestly, outside of those two Tuesday and Wednesday glassy mornings, the wind just doesn't cooperate. For every clean morning, the afternoons get chopped up or blown out. This area is not really giving us a great run of surf. If you're a kiter, those afternoons with strong cross-onshore winds and a decent swell might look more interesting than they do for paddling.
So, keep it for the glassy mornings of the 8th and the 16th. They're your best bets.
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. 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.
