The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the cards for the next couple of weeks.
We're starting off with a bit of a slow one. The first decent chance doesn't roll in until Monday morning, July 20th, at Jacaraipe. This is a sandbar setup, and it's a fairly consistent spot. The water is sitting at 73.0°F, which is pretty normal for this time of year. We've got a 4.6ft easterly swell, with a period of 8 seconds, so a short-period windswell. The energy is moderate (226). The wind is a light 3 mph from the north, making it a cross-offshore breeze, so the waves will be clean. For a beginner-friendly spot, this is a solid, fun little window. That morning is the pick of the first week.
Things get messy pretty quickly after that. Monday afternoon sees the wind pick up to 12 mph from the northeast, turning it cross-onshore and choppy. The rest of that week is a bit of a write-off, with onshore winds and lumpy conditions. There's a brief moment of glassy conditions early on Tuesday, July 28th, but the swell is a tiny 3ft from the SSE. The energy is moderate (263) and the period stretches to 11 seconds, which is a nice long-period groundswell. It's a small wave, but it'll be absolutely perfect for a longboard or a funboard if you're into that. The wind is dead calm, glassy. That's a real gem for the patient surfer, but it's more than a week away.
The standout, if you can call it that, is still that Monday morning, July 20th. It’s the biggest, cleanest wave of the first week. The rest of the 16-day run is mostly full of poor conditions, small swell, and onshore winds. We have a pretty big gap with no real recommendations after that first week, with the next glimmer of hope being that glassy 28th. After that, it's back to small, onshore slop.
Forget the long-range crystal ball stuff; the only real move is to get on it Monday morning, July 20th, at Jacaraipe. It won't be epic, but it’ll be clean and fun.

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.
