The Lowdown
Alright, let’s talk shop. This is Rusty, and I’ve had a good look at what Jacaraipe is offering for the next couple of weeks, and I’ll tell ya, it’s mostly a waiting game. The water temp is running just about normal for the season, so nothing wild there.
The first few days are basically a wash. From Thursday through the weekend, it’s all cross-shore winds and lumpy chop. Swell heights will fluctuate between 3ft and 6ft, but the wind is going to tear it all up. You’re looking at weak to moderate energy, with those readings in the 249 to 616 range, but it doesn’t matter when the waves are a mess. Forget about it.
Now, if you’re keen, the first real chance comes on Tuesday morning, the 15th. The swell drops to a clean 4ft from the ESE, and more importantly, the wind goes light and offshore-ish from the NNW. The notes say “expect good surf conditions,” and I’m with them. The energy is moderate at 291, but with a clean face, this sandbar should offer some fun little peaks. It’s not going to be epic, but it’ll be the best surf we’ve seen in a while. Keep an eye out for a few other folks, but it shouldn’t be too crowded.
Then it goes flat and messy again until we get to the big one. Saturday the 19th, in the morning, is shaping up to be the standout of the whole period. The swell jumps to a solid 6ft from the ESE with an 8-second period, and the wind is light and cross-off from the NNE. That’s the kind of combo that gets the heart pumping. The wave energy is strong at 454, and with that kind of clean setup, this is the session you want to be planning for. It’s over a week out, so take it with a grain of salt, but it’s definitely the one that’s got my attention.
After that, the surf fades out again, with some bigger 6ft pulses on Monday the 21st but the wind messes them up. The rest is small and onshore slop.
So, the deal is this: there’s a lot of nothing, but two bright spots. Tuesday morning the 15th will be a fun, clean day. But Saturday the 19th in the morning—that’s the one you want to keep free. Be patient, and you’ll be rewarded.
Rusty.

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.

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.
