The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s get into it.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – the next 16 days at Jacaraipe are a mixed bag, and there’s nothing that’s gonna have you calling in sick to work. The first solid recommendation doesn’t pop up until the morning of Saturday the 16th of August. That’s a good week and a half of waiting for anything that’s worth a paddle. The week before that is mostly a write-off with poor surf and messy wind.
That Saturday morning, the 16th, is the real standout. We’ve got a south-southeast groundswell rolling in at 3 ft with a very long period of 15 seconds. That’s proper energy, and with a light cross-offshore breeze from the southwest at just 3 mph, the surface is going to be clean. The combined energy is moderate (341). This is a sandbar break, so that long period stuff might make it a bit straight, but with the wind this good, it’s your best chance. Crowds are only a “sometimes” thing here, so you might get a few waves to yourself.
The morning of Sunday the 17th sees a jump in size to 5 ft from the southeast, but the period drops way down to 7 seconds. That’s short-period windswell, weak and bumpy. It’s a marginal call at best.
Then we get into the following week. Tuesday the 18th morning looks interesting with a 6 ft east swell, but again, it’s short period at 7 seconds and the wind is a cross-shore. The energy is moderate (421), but the quality just isn’t there for a top recommendation.
Wednesday the 20th morning has a clean, cross-offshore wind from the north, with a 5 ft east-northeast swell. Still short period, but the wind is kind. It’s a “maybe” if you’re desperate.
The rest of the period into the 23rd is just more of the same: small, short-period swells and side-to onshore winds. Nothing to write home about.
So, to wrap it up: your best bet, and really the only one worth chasing, is the morning of Saturday the 16th of August. Clean conditions, a long-period groundswell, and a chance for a few lonely ones. The rest of the time, you’re better off waxing your board at home.
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.
