Table - best surf conditions forecast for Jacaraipe over the next 16 days.
The Lowdown
Alright mates, Rusty here. Let’s break down Jacaraipe. The next few days are a write-off – nothing worth paddling for from Thursday the 20th through Sunday the 23rd. Winds are all over the place, and the swell is just not cooperating. Water temp’s about 73°F, nothing special.
Your first real chance to get wet is Monday the 24th. The morning goes glassy with a tiny 2ft swell from the South, period around 10 seconds. It’s barely surfable, but at least it’s clean.
The window to circle on the calendar is Tuesday the 25th. That morning, it’s glassy again, with a clean 4ft SSE swell and a long 16-second pulse. The combined energy is strong (793), meaning this groundswell has some real push. It’s a proper set.
Wednesday the 26th morning stays clean with a 3ft SSE swell (14 seconds, energy 465). Thursday the 27th morning is another standout: clear skies, light offshore wind, and a solid 4ft SSE swell with a 14-second interval, pumping strong energy (813). That’s very good quality right there.
After that, the second week gets a bit inconsistent. Friday the 28th morning is clean but smaller. The 29th morning has a clean 5ft from the ENE, but it’s only a 7-second windswell, so it’s weaker. The end of the forecast shows a return of cleaner, longer-period swell around the 4th of September – Friday morning the 4th looks clean with a 2ft SSE swell and glassy vibes.
Best bet: Tuesday morning the 25th, then Thursday the 27th morning. Keep an eye on that Friday the 4th for a sneaky clean session.
Rusty.

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.
