The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here, let's talk about what's on offer for the local stretch.

Alright, looking at the next two weeks, it's a classic case of patience being a virtue. The first week is a write-off for quality waves, but there's a glimmer of a very fun, very different swell that might just make the second week worth hanging in there for.

The water temps are sitting at 73°, which is bang on average for the time of year, nothing out of the ordinary there.

The first real chance of a wave comes on Sunday morning, the 2nd of August, at Jacaraipe. It's a sandbar setup, exposed to the east, which is a good thing because the swell is coming straight from the east. We're looking at 4 ft of swell with a short 7-second period. The energy is moderate (222). The wind is a light northerly, so it's a cross-offshore breeze, which will keep it pretty clean. The water is a standard 73°. It's a beginner-friendly size, but don't expect anything with much punch from that short period. The crowds are "sometimes" here, so you might have a few friends out.

The following morning, Monday the 3rd, is more of the same: 4 ft east swell, breeze from the north again, keeping it clean. The energy is a touch weaker (172). It's rideable, but nothing to write home about.

Tuesday the 4th is a repeat of the same pattern – clean morning, 4 ft east swell, light north wind. The energy is a bit better (242). The afternoons, though, are a no-go, with a strong onshore wind from the east-northeast kicking up a chop.

From Wednesday the 5th through to the end of the first week, the pattern holds. Mornings are often cleaner, but the swell is short and weak, and the consistency is just "fairly consistent." The afternoons are all blown out. It's not a total loss, but you're working for a very average wave.

Now, the standout. After a very quiet period, things get interesting around Tuesday the 11th of August. The wind is light and from the north on that Tuesday morning, which is a cross-offshore breeze and will be glassy. The swell direction swings around to the south-southeast, and here's the kicker: the period jumps to 16 seconds. That's a very long-period groundswell. The height is only 2 ft, but the energy is moderate (335). This is a classic case of a small, clean, long-period swell – it's likely to be a bit fat and slow, but it'll be super clean and the lines will be long. This is the best on offer for the whole forecast. It's a long-range call, so it's promising but not locked in.

The next morning, Wednesday the 12th, is also worth a look. The morning shows a 2 ft swell from the south, still a very long 16-second period, with a light cross-offshore wind. The energy is moderate (296). It's a similar setup to the day before, just a smidge smaller.

Into the second week, the pattern is similar. The mornings of the 13th, 14th, and 15th of August show small, clean, long-period swells from the south-southeast. The 15th looks particularly promising with a 3 ft swell, 13-second period, clean north wind, and stronger energy (435). It's a good stretch of early mornings for the forehand surfers.

The final few days of the outlook, around the 16th and 17th of August, we see the swell direction swing back to the east, with a shorter period. The mornings are clean, but the wave quality is just ordinary.

So, to sum it up: the first week is a grind. Wait for the second week. The absolute standout is the morning of Tuesday the 11th of August, and the mornings of the 15th and 16th are also good bets for clean, small, long-period groundswell. Don't bother with the afternoons, they're all a mess.

Rusty, signing off.

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.

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.
