The Lowdown

Alright legends, Rusty here. Let’s break down the next couple of weeks of surf.

It’s a bit of a slow start, honestly. The mornings are your only real chance, because the afternoons get trashed by the wind. The water temp is about 74°, which is normal for this time of year, nothing weird going on.

Your first chance to get a wave is Sunday morning, August 9th, at Jacaraipe. This is a sandbar, fairly consistent, and it’s exposed to the east. We’ve got a 5ft swell coming from the NE with a short 7-second period – it’s a windswell, not a lot of power. The combined energy is weak (333). The wind is a cross-off from the north at 12 mph, so the surface should be clean. It’s a beginner-friendly break, so if you’re learning, this is your go. You might have a few others out there – crowds are possible.

Monday the 10th drops right off to 2ft, so forget it. The rest of the week is a mess of onshore winds and poor conditions. There’s a window on Wednesday morning, August 12th, with a 5ft, 13-second SSE swell, but the wind is light onshore from the SE. The energy is moderate (660), but it’s a bit of a gamble with the tide.

It starts to look a bit better on Monday morning, August 17th. We’ve got a 4ft swell from the SE with a 9-second period. The combined energy is moderate (246). The wind is a light cross-off from the north at 9 mph, and it’s clean. Finally, a sign of life.

The real standout, no question, is Saturday morning, August 22nd. It’s glassy. The wind is from the SSE at a mere 3 mph, and it’s described as glassy. The swell is 5ft from the east with an 8-second period. The combined energy is moderate (300). This is the cleanest session of the whole forecast. It’s not massive, but it’ll be fun and lined up.

Sunday morning, August 23rd, is also glassy with a 4ft east swell and light winds. A solid backup.

The second week has a few clean mornings, but the winds come up again in the afternoons. The highlight is definitely that Saturday the 22nd. It’s a long way out, so keep your fingers crossed, but it’s the best bet on the board.

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.
