The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Let’s break it down: this Jacaraipe forecast has a lot of flat, messy days, but there are two clear standouts that are worth getting wet for – especially the last one.
Right away, Monday August 31st morning has a small 5ft ENE swell, short 7-second period, with clean conditions thanks to a light cross-off northerly. Combined energy is a moderate 440. The wave report says it’s marginal, but for a beginner-friendly sandbar, it’s the only real option that morning. Water temp is 73°, right on the money for this time of year.
Then things go south. Tuesday September 1st through Friday the 4th is a mess – winds gusting up to 18 mph from the north-northeast, cross-on and cross conditions, and poor surf quality. Swell energy drops hard into the 200s and even 100s. Not worth the walk.
Saturday September 5th morning is the first little highlight. A clean 4ft ENE swell, light 6 mph cross-off northerly. Energy is 250 – nothing huge, but it’s clean. The score says expect good surf conditions. For a fairly consistent sandbar, that’s a decent little window, especially for beginners. Crowds can show sometimes, so get in early.
The second week is mostly a dud. Sunday the 6th through Monday the 14th of September is windy, onshore, and choppy. There’s a moment on Tuesday the 8th morning with a 14-second period swell, but it’s only 2ft and cross-on. Skip it.
Now, the big one: Tuesday September 15th morning. This is the real deal. A clean 5ft ESE swell with a 12-second period, glassy offshore from the SSE – dead calm. Combined energy is 856, that’s moderate-to-strong. The wave report says expect very good surf conditions. This is a proper long-period groundswell. At a sandbar it might run a little straight, but with glassy conditions and that size, it’ll be fantastic for intermediates and even some beginners can handle it. Mark this morning on your calendar.
Afternoon on the 15th turns cross-on and drops to 3ft, so the morning is where the magic happens.
Bottom line: most of the next two weeks is flat or messy. The clear winners are the clean morning of Saturday the 5th and, much better, the glassy morning of Tuesday the 15th. Plan for the 15th.
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.
