The Lowdown
Alright, surfers. Let’s have a look at what’s coming up for Jacaraipe over the next couple of weeks.
Right up front, I gotta be honest with you – this is a pretty grim stretch for Jacaraipe. We’re looking at a whole lot of crummy conditions, and the good windows are few and far between. The first real chance to get wet doesn’t even show up until Tuesday morning, the 8th of September. Before that, it’s all cross-shore wind and lumpy chop – not worth your time.
Tuesday morning, the 8th of September is your best bet. The wind goes glassy, which is a major win. The swell is a small 3 ft from the SSE with a period of 10 seconds. The combined energy is moderate (350). It’s a bit of a window before the onshore winds kick in for the afternoon. This is the standout for the whole outlook – clean lines, not much power, but you’ll be surfing, not just fighting the wind.
Wednesday morning, the 9th, also looks okay. A clean 4 ft swell from the E with a 7-second period (moderate energy at 344) and a light cross-offshore wind from the N. It’s surfable, but short period windswell is a bit bouncy. The afternoon gets ruined by thunderstorms and a strong cross-onshore.
Thursday morning, the 10th, is clean but the wind is a moderate 15 mph cross-offshore. The swell is 4 ft from the ENE. It’s clean, but the wind is strong enough to make it tricky. The afternoon is a write-off.
After that, it’s a long, bleak run. From the 11th through to the 21st of September, you’re looking at a mix of poor surf conditions, strong winds, and very few clean windows. There are a few mornings with light winds and small, clean swell, but the energy is weak and the swell is tiny. For example, the 11th has a pretty beefy long-period 16-second swell from the SSE with strong energy (427), but the morning is a marginal tide situation and the afternoon is a fresh cross-onshore mess. The 15th and 16th have some clean swell but get blown out by the afternoon. The 18th, 19th, and 20th are all small and weak with strong winds.
The water is sitting around 72°, which is about average for the time of year here.
Honestly, looking at this full 16-day window, it’s a tough one. If you’re a beginner, Tuesday morning the 8th is your safest bet with that glassy 3 ft. For anyone else, it’s a waiting game. The energy is weak, the wind is wrong, and the good conditions are fleeting. Unless you’re desperate for a paddle, I’d give it a miss.

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.
