The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s happening at Jacaraipe for the next couple of weeks.

The first real chance to get wet is Tuesday morning, September 8th. Water temps are about 73°F, which is normal for this time of year. The waves are a small 3ft out of the east, with a short period of 7 seconds. The combined energy is weak (316). The wind is glassy, coming from the WSW at 3 mph. That’s the story – clean, smooth, and small. It’s a sandbar break that’s fairly consistent, so it’s a good one for beginners to get some practice. This is the best early window.

The next thing worth paddling for is Friday morning, September 11th. The swell bumps up to 5ft from the ENE, still with a short period of 7 seconds. The energy is moderate (638). The wind is cross-offshore from the north at 16 mph, which will keep the faces clean. It’s a bit more size, but still a bit fat. By the afternoon, the wind shifts and ruins the party.

After that, it’s a long stretch of rough conditions. The wind is onshore, the swell gets messy, and it’s not worth your time. The real standout of the whole outlook is Tuesday morning, September 15th. The swell is 6ft from the east, with a period of 8 seconds, and the combined energy is strong (669). The wind is cross-offshore from the north at 16 mph, so the waves will be clean and have some push. That’s the day to plan for.

The final little window is Thursday afternoon, September 17th. The swell drops to 4ft from the SSE, with a longer period of 10 seconds. The wind goes glassy, and the energy is moderate (355). It’s a small, clean session, but it’s there.

Outside of those, the forecast is mostly poor to marginal. The wind is strong and onshore, making the surf lumpy and choppy. It’s a tough run for Jacaraipe, but being a fairly consistent sandbar, the blank spells don’t usually last forever. Keep an eye on the 15th.

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.
