The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, let’s talk about what’s coming up for Jacaraipe.
It’s a bit of a slow start, to be honest. The first few days are looking pretty ordinary – a lot of junky cross-chop and poor conditions. You’d be hard-pressed to find anything worthwhile from Wednesday the 2nd right through that week and into the weekend. There’s a long stretch of just average, messy surf with the wind all over the place. We’re talking moderate cross-shore breezes and choppy surfaces, not what you want for a good session.
The first real glimmer comes on Wednesday morning the 9th of September. This is where it gets interesting. The wind will go glassy, and we’ll get some small, clean conditions with a swell coming from the SSE, running 2ft with a period of 10 seconds. The wave energy is moderate (218), and the water temperature is sitting at a normal 73°. For a sandbar break like Jacaraipe, that glassy morning is the standout – it’s going to be clean, glassy, and very user-friendly for the beginners who are well-suited here. But keep in mind, with crowds marked as "sometimes", you might not have it all to yourself.
Later on, Thursday the 10th and Friday the 11th see a solid bump in size, with the swell pushing up to 6ft to 6ft from the ESE and E. The wind stays cross-offshore in the mornings, so the surf will be clean, but those 8-second periods mean it’s a bit shorter-period wind swell. The energy is strong (686 and 541), so there’s some punch, but it’s more for those who can handle a bit of size. That Thursday morning is probably the pick of the bunch for a decent wave, but it’s not perfect.
There’s another long gap after that. The following week looks largely average with messy winds again. The end of the 16-day window on Thursday the 17th of September shows a very small, glassy morning with a long-period groundswell from the SSE, 17-second period for only 1ft. The wave energy is moderate (296), but with those super long intervals, it’s more of a whisper than a roar – best for a point, reef, or river mouth setup rather than a sandbar. Inconsistent and rare, as they say.
Overall, the best bet is that Wednesday morning the 9th for clean, easy surfing, or the Thursday morning the 10th if you want a bit more size. Otherwise, it’s a waiting game.
Rusty.

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.
