The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for the next couple of weeks.
To be straight with you, the outlook is a mixed bag with a long wait for anything really good. We’re looking at Jacaraipe (ES) as our only spot on the radar. The water temp is sitting at 72°, which is just a touch cooler than average for this time of year, nothing to worry about.
The first few days are a write-off. Saturday the 29th through to Tuesday the 3rd of September, the conditions are just poor – cross-shore winds, lumpy chop, and weak, short-period swell. The combined energy is moderate (226 to 599), but it’s all wind-affected and messy. Not worth paddling out for.
There’s a real gap from the 4th to the 6th, with only marginal or poor surf. The energy drops and the winds don’t play ball.
Then, on Monday the 7th of September, things get interesting. The morning is still marginal, but the afternoon brings a solid 7 ft swell from the SSE with a very long period of 15 seconds. That’s a lot of energy (1899) and the wind is a gentle cross-shore. Problem is, the swell is predicted to be too big for this break, so it’s only for the very experienced if they’re willing to test it.
The standout, and I mean the one to circle on your calendar, is Tuesday morning, the 8th of September. Glassy conditions – that’s a light wind from the north at just 3 mph – and a 6 ft SSE groundswell with a very long period of 16 seconds. The energy is strong (1399). This is excellent surf for experienced surfers. The swell direction (SSE) is a bit off the optimum (E), but with that glassy surface and deep ocean energy, Jacaraipe should offer some clean, powerful lines. The crowds are sometimes around, but with these conditions, it’ll be worth sharing the water.
After that, Wednesday the 9th morning is clean and okay with 4 ft SSE swell, but then it’s back to poor conditions for the rest of the outlook. The second week doesn’t have much to offer – mostly small, weak swell and poor winds.
So, bottom line: wait for the 8th. That Tuesday morning is your best bet, but it’s a long-range call, so keep an eye on the forecasts.
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.
