The Lowdown

Hey, Rusty again. Let’s talk about the same stretch but in feet, miles per hour, and Fahrenheit.

First up, the outlook for Jacaraipe is pretty bleak for the next week and a half, but there’s one morning that could make it all worth it if you’ve got patience.

The real golden window lands on Thursday, August 21st, in the morning—that’s just about a week and a half from now, so don’t book a flight just yet; it’s a promising long-range call. Swell is from the SSE at about 5 ft with a very long 16-second period—that’s proper groundswell, packing a lot of punch. Combined wave energy is a strong 1176. The wind? Dead calm, glassy as a mirror. That means the surface will be clean and inviting. Water temp is around 74°, pretty much average for this time of year, so no wetsuit nonsense. This is a sandbar break, fairly consistent, but with a swell over 5 ft it’s stepping into intermediate territory—not a beginner’s playground. That long period will give you long waits between sets, but the waves will have real shape and power when they arrive. Just keep in mind, that sort of groundswell can run a bit straight on a sandbar, so look for the peaks.

The rest of the window is mostly a washout. Monday August 10th has a tiny 2 ft SSE swell with a 25 mph cross-onshore wind—choppy and useless. From Tuesday the 11th all the way through to Wednesday the 20th, you’re looking at a long run of poor conditions. A few mornings do have clean cross-offshore winds from the north, like Thursday the 13th, Saturday the 15th, and Monday the 17th, but the swell is weak, short-period, and the quality is poor. Afternoons are hammered by fresh cross-onshore breezes. Not worth paddling for.

After the highlight Thursday, it drops back again. Saturday the 22nd morning has a clean 3 ft SSE swell with light cross-offshore wind—fine for a small-wave grovel. Then it’s back to short-period junk Sunday through Monday.

So, the real standout is Thursday, August 21st, morning. Glassy, solid groundswell from the SSE with serious energy. That’s your best bet—maybe your only good bet—in this whole outlook.

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.
