The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the cards for the next couple of weeks at Jacaraipe. I gotta be straight with you, the first week or so is looking pretty grim. There's a good stretch of nothing much happening, so don't get your hopes up too early.
We start off on Wednesday, 22nd of July, and it's a flat spell. The water’s sitting at a pretty average 74°F for this time of year, nothing unusual there. The wind is a moderate cross-off from the north, but the swell is just a weak 4ft from the east, with a short period of 8 seconds and combined energy of only 186. It's poor. The same story rolls through Thursday and into Friday. You'll see a little 4ft pulse on Friday morning with a light breeze, but it's still just ordinary. This dry patch runs right through the weekend and into the start of the next week.
We are looking at a gap of about five days before we see anything worth mentioning. The first real glimmer of hope arrives on Monday, 27th of July, in the morning. A clean little 2ft south-southeast swell rolls in, and it's a groundswell with a period of 12 seconds. The combined energy is a moderate 234. The wind is a light cross-off from the north, so it'll be clean. It's not big, but it's the best we've seen. The sets will be well-spaced, making the paddle out easy, but it's small.
Then, the real standout is shaping up for Thursday, 30th of July, in the morning. We've got a 5ft swell from the north-northeast, building and with a combined energy of 324, which is moderate to strong. The period is short at 7 seconds, but the wind is a gentle cross-off from the north, keeping it clean. This is the pick of the fortnight. For a beginner spot, 5ft is pushing the upper limit, but the clean conditions will make it manageable for those with a bit of confidence. The sandbar at Jacaraipe should line up alright.
Looking further ahead to the second week, there's a bit more activity. The morning of Wednesday, 5th of August, has a 3ft southeast groundswell (10-second period) with a nice, clean, slight air. The combined energy is a solid 212. Then Thursday, 6th of August, follows a similar pattern with a 3ft southeast swell, also clean in the morning and 265 energy. Both are promising, but we're a long way out, so keep an eye on the forecasts.
So, to sum it up: the first week is a write-off. The best windows are the morning of Monday, 27th July for a small, clean session, and the clear standout is the morning of Thursday, 30th July.
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.
