Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's take a look at what Jacaraipe has got cookin' for the next couple of weeks.

Alright, we've got a mixed bag comin' our way. The early part of the run is where you'll wanna be paying attention. Thursday the 2nd of July kicks it off with a clean, cross-off breeze from the north. The swell coming from the east is a modest 4 feet, with an 8-second period, so not much grunt there, but 235 (weak energy) in the water is enough for a longboard or a funboard. This is the best window we’ve got for a while.

Friday the 3rd stays clean in the morning with similar 4 feet east swell, but the afternoon gets blown out. The real gem is Saturday morning the 4th. Glassy conditions, dead calm, and a clean 4 feet east swell with a 9-second period. The water’s sitting at 75°, which is bang average for this time of year. Get out there early.

Sunday morning the 5th is also alright with a cross-off breeze and a smaller 3 feet east swell. But after that, things get tricky. We hit a rough patch from Monday the 6th through until Tuesday the 14th. The swell turns southerly, the winds get onshore or cross-shore, and the wave energy jumps up but it's messy. There's a glimmer on Tuesday the 7th with a clean, cross-off wind, but the swell is a bit wonky. Honestly, it's a long stretch of dodgy conditions for a sandbar.

Now, hold your horses for Wednesday the 15th of July. This is a real standout, but only for the brave. A big SSE groundswell rolls in with a 13-second period, pushing 7 feet and packing 1644 (strong wave energy). That's serious power. The morning is glassy with a light south-southwest breeze, which would be heaven, but the forecast warns this is too much juice for this break. This is strictly for the expert crew. For the rest of us, it's going to be a washing machine.

Thursday the 16th drops back to 5 feet with better winds, but it’s still big and the quality is touch-and-go. After that, the whole second week tails off into smaller, weaker surf and poor winds. It dries up completely from the 12th to the 13th, with barely anything worth paddling for.

So, plan your sessions for the first Saturday or Sunday mornings. The big pulse on the 15th is a wildcard for the heavy hitters if the banks can handle it.

Stay safe.

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.
