The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Let’s break down the next couple of weeks for Jacaraipe.
Honestly, the first week is a bit of a bust. A few swells come through but the wind is all wrong and the quality just ain’t there – lots of marginal, poor, or ordinary days. The first real chance is Monday morning the 14th of September – a small 1.3m swell out of the ESE (7-second period) with a light WNW offshore breeze, keeping it clean. Combined energy is moderate (289), enough to get you moving. After that, Tuesday the 15th morning shows 0.9m from the SSE with a longer 9-second period and glassy conditions under a light NNW breeze. That’s a tidy little dawn session. Combined energy is moderate (242).
The real standout, the one to circle, is Friday morning the 18th of September. Jacaraipe fires: 1.2m of SSE groundswell with a solid 11-second period, glassy flat water, and a light ENE breeze. Combined energy jumps to 669 (moderate-strong) – there’s proper grunt in the water. The SSE direction suits the optimum easterly for this sandbar. Crowds are only *sometimes* a problem, so if you’re there at first light you’ll have it good. Just remember, longer-period swells can straighten out on beach breaks, but a sandbar like this should hold good shape.
Things go a bit rough again over the weekend – Saturday the 19th and Sunday the 20th get windy and lumpy. But Monday the 21st brings another good window: 1.3m from the ENE (7 seconds) with a light northerly cross-offshore breeze in the morning, clean. Combined energy is moderate (376). The afternoon turns glassy with a 1.2m ENE swell – a sweet little session.
Second week scales back. Thursday the 24th afternoon and Friday the 25th morning both serve up clean, glassy 1.0–1.1m SSE groundswell (10 seconds) with moderate energy (350 and 331), but it’s smaller. Still worth a look if the itch is there.
Water is 23°, right about average for the season – nothing unusual.
Bottom line: Friday the 18th is your best bet. Keep Tuesday the 15th and Monday the 21st in mind as solid backups.
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.
