The Lowdown

Right off the bat, the next couple of days aren't looking like much at Jacaraipe (Espírito Santo). We've got a small, junky south swell mixing with a cross-onshore breeze, so Sunday afternoon is a write-off. The water's sitting at around 73.4°, which is pretty much spot on for this time of year. Nothing special, just normal.

Monday morning, the 3rd, things get a little more interesting. The swell swings around to the east, pushing in at about 3.6ft with a period of 7 seconds. It's not big, but the wind is light and offshore – actually, it's a cross-offshore out of the north – and that cleans it right up. It's surfable, but honestly, it's pretty ordinary. You'd be out there for the sake of it, not because it's firing. The energy's weak, sitting at 170. By the afternoon, the breeze switches onshore again and it's choppy rubbish, so get your session in early if you're keen.

Tuesday looks similar, a bit of east swell at around 3.9ft, but the wind is cross-shore and it's just messy. Not worth getting excited about. Wednesday the 5th is where things get a little better. Morning sees a cross-offshore breeze again, clean lines, 3.9ft of east swell with a period of 8 seconds. The energy's still moderate though (225). This is a solid, though not spectacular, morning surf. The afternoon is blown out again.

The rest of that first week, from Thursday the 6th through to Sunday the 9th, is a bit of a grind. We get some east-northeast swell and a bit more size – up to 5.9ft on Saturday afternoon – but the wind is either too cross or too strong, and the period drops to 5-6 seconds. That's short-period windswell, and it's going to be lumpy and all over the place. Not great paddle surfing. I'd be keeping an eye on the kite gear for those afternoons, with that fresh cross-breeze and a bit of push.

Then Monday the 10th has a bit of a reset. The wind is light, but it's cross-shore with little ripples, and the swell's down and messy. Still nothing doing.

Now, here's the part that gets the heart going. Tuesday the 11th of August. The wind goes light and cross-offshore out of the southwest in the morning. The swell swings around to the south, 4.6ft, but it's still a short 6-second period. It's clean, but the waves aren't going to have much push. It's a "good conditions" call, but not a standout. The energy is moderate, 206.

But hold on. Wednesday the 12th – that's when the real magic shows up. The morning sees a proper groundswell arriving from the south-southeast. It's only 3ft, but listen, the period jumps to 11 seconds. That's a stack of energy, 374 to be exact. The wind is light and cross-offshore from the north. This is the kind of morning where the sandbar at Jacaraipe can really shine – long, clean lines, proper little barrels if you're in the right spot. It's still a small wave, mind you, but the quality will be so much better than anything before it. This is one to bookmark.

The afternoon gets blown out by a fresh cross-onshore breeze, so make the most of that morning session. The energy stays high, though, at 329.

Thursday the 13th is another cracker in the morning. Light rain, southwest wind, cross-offshore, and the swell is getting a bit more organized – 1.6ft at 13 seconds. The period is getting longer, which is great for shape. The energy is solid, 284. But it's small. Very small. Still, for the purity of the glide and the clean conditions, it's worth a paddle.

Friday the 14th starts to blow up a bit. The morning is blown out with a fresh cross-shore breeze. The afternoon brings some light rain and a bigger, stronger south-southeast swell – 4.3ft at 12 seconds – but the wind is fresh and cross-onshore. The energy is strong, hitting 614, but it's going to be lumpy and hard to manage. This is more about power than finesse.

Saturday the 15th is a no-go. Onshore winds and a messy southern swell. The energy is still strong, 478, but it's not doing anyone any favors.

Finally, Sunday the 16th. The swell backs off a bit, but we're still looking at a decent pulse. Morning is cloudy, light east wind, and about 3.6ft of east swell at 8 seconds. It's marginal. But the afternoon is the finale. The swell gets a little bigger, 6.2ft, from the east-southeast at 8 seconds. The wind is a gentle cross-onshore, so it'll be a bit bumpy, but the energy is huge – 792. This is a proper push of swell. It's a challenge, and

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.
