The Lowdown

Alright, let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for Jacaraipe over the next couple of weeks.

Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with ya – the next few days are pretty grim. We’ve got a run of onshore, cross-shore, and just generally messy wind from the north and northeast, blowing through some small, short-period windswell. It’s choppy, messy, and not really worth paddling out for. This stretch from Friday the 7th right through to Sunday the 9th is a write-off. You’ll be fighting the wind for nothing.

But hang in there, because things take a real turn for the better. On Monday the 10th, we’ve got a pocket of magic. Morning glass – seriously, glassy conditions with a whisper of a southwesterly breeze – and a clean, long-period groundswell rolling in at 2 ft from the south with a 14-second period. That energy is moderate (239), and that long period means the waves will have shape, power, and long waits between sets. It’s a small day, but with the wind off, it’s the cleanest we’ll see all period. A real glassy session for the patient surfer.

After that, the wind starts to get nasty again. Tuesday the 11th brings in a bigger pulse from the SSE, around 7 ft, but a strong cross-onshore wind and short period will chop it up. That’s expert territory, and not pretty. The rest of the week is a mix of marginal and poor conditions, with the wind always swinging onshore or cross-shore.

There’s a bright spot early on Saturday the 15th. The morning shows a clean cross-off breeze from the southwest, with a solid 4 ft swell from the SSE, 14-second period, and very good energy (662). The forecast says “expect very good surf conditions” – that’s the standout. Light, gentle wind, clean waves, and a decent push. It’s not huge, but it’ll be fun, and the crowd could be around (it’s a spot that sometimes gets busy). That Saturday morning is where you want to be.

After that, the wind turns onshore again, and the last week of the run looks like a mix of rain showers, onshore winds, and small, short-period slop. Nothing to get excited about. The 22nd of August has a tiny 2 ft SSE swell under a clean offshore wind, but it’s weak and inconsistent.

So, bottom line: this whole stretch is a real test of patience. The first week is mostly poor, but if you can wait, Monday the 10th morning is a little gem for the glassy, long-period conditions, and Saturday the 15th morning is the real pick of the bunch. The rest is just watching the horizon.

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.
