Table - best surf conditions forecast for Jacaraipe over the next 16 days.
G’day, Rusty here, giving you the lowdown for Jacaraipe.
First off, the early days are a mess. From Sunday the 12th, the wind’s swinging cross and cross-shore with fresh breezes – lumpy, choppy, no fun. The swell’s too big for this sandbar at times, hitting over 2m, and the wind’s making it a kite-surfing show rather than a paddle session. The water temp’s about normal for this time of year, nothing wild.
Come Saturday the 18th, things clean up. The morning brings glassy conditions with a light NNW breeze, 1.3m waves from the ESE at 10 seconds, and moderate energy (394). It’s clean and tidy, but get out before the afternoon onshore kicks in.
Sunday the 19th morning is another glassy gem: 0.9m from the ESE, 10-second period, clean. Tiny, but a fun one for the foam boards.
The real standout is Wednesday the 22nd morning. East swell at 1.6m, 8-second period, and a light cross-off from the north – clean as glass. The combined energy is moderate (595), and it’s the best session on the calendar. Crowds can show up, so be ready.
After that, Thursday the 23rd and Friday the 24th still have clean mornings but smaller waves (1.3m to 1.1m). By the 26th, it drops right off – 0.5m to 0.8m south swell, but again, clean mornings if you’re keen.
Bottom line: the early days are trash. Hit Saturday the 18th or Wednesday the 22nd mornings for the best waves. That Wednesday is the one.
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.
