The Lowdown

G'day, I'm Rusty. Let's have a look at what's shaping up for Jacaraipe over the next couple of weeks. Real talk, it's a slow burn. We've got a big stretch of nothing much, but there's a serious payoff in the second week if you're willing to wait.

The immediate outlook is pretty flat and ordinary. Thursday the 30th of July starts with a tiny 3ft NE windswell, and while the morning is dead glassy, the swell period is short at 6 seconds, so there's no grunt to it. The combined energy is weak (89). Afternoon goes to junk with a strong cross-breeze. After that, we're looking at a dry spell. From Friday the 31st of July right through until Monday the 10th of August, the conditions are poor to marginal. You'll see the odd small bump of around 4ft, but the winds are all wrong – mostly cross or cross-on, and the wave quality just isn't there. It's one of those patches where the forecast is a bit of a write-off, so don't waste the fuel.

Now, things finally look interesting on Tuesday the 11th of August. The morning at Jacaraipe is a standout morning with a glassy 5ft NE swell. It's clean, the wind is dead calm, and while the period is a touch short at 6 seconds, the combined energy is moderate (260). It's a nice little window for a surf.

But the real event, the one you're waiting for, is Wednesday the 12th of August. The morning is on track to be the pick of the whole forecast. We've got a 5ft SSE groundswell with a very long period of 17 seconds, pumping out a massive combined energy of 1662. The wind is light and offshore from the north, and conditions are clean. This is genuine quality – long period energy like this really suits the sandbar setup here, and the crowd *sometimes* shows up, so you might have a few mates out but it won't be a circus. The water temp is about average for this time of year. It's a classic dawny mission. Be warned, by the afternoon the swell jumps to 7ft with a cross-onshore breeze, tipping it over the edge for being too big for most. That morning window is the sweet spot. The rest of the week holds solid, big swell (6ft, even 7ft on Friday the 14th), but the winds are mixed and the size will push it past the comfort zone for most, making it more of a spectacle for experts or a kite day.

So to wrap it: ignore the first week and a bit, circle Tuesday the 11th for a glassy clean-up, and absolutely lock in Wednesday the 12th of August morning for the best waves of the run.

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.
