The Lowdown

Alright, let’s get into it. We’re looking at the next couple of weeks here at Jacaraipe, a sandbar setup that’s exposed to the swell. The water temp is sitting about average for this time of year, so nothing crazy there.

The first few days are a bit of a write-off, to be honest. Sunday the 9th kicks off with a 5ft NE swell, but the wind is a messy cross-off 12 mph breeze, and the period is a short 7 seconds. The energy is there (332), but it’s not coming together. That afternoon gets worse: 19 mph cross-shore wind and a 6-second period – just lumpy junk. Monday the 10th is even smaller, with a 2ft SSE groundswell that has a long 14-second period, but the wind is light and cross, making it pretty weak sauce. The energy reading is only 210. Not worth paddling out for.

Tuesday the 11th and Wednesday the 12th are a washout with rain and onshore winds, making the surf choppy and poor. The conditions are just not cooperating. There’s a gap here of a few days with absolutely nothing to recommend.

Now, look to Thursday the 14th of August. That Friday morning (the 14th) is the real standout. We’ve got a 4ft SSE groundswell with a solid 14-second period, and the wind is going glassy – dead calm, 0 mph. That’s the kind of morning where you get that mirror-like surface. The combined energy is pumping at 614 (moderate energy), and the forecast says “expect very good surf conditions.” For a sandbar, that long period swell might make the waves a bit too straight, but with that glassy wind, it’s going to be clean, clean, clean. This is the one to circle. The crowds are listed as “sometimes,” so you might have a few others out, but it’s worth it.

Saturday the 15th sees the swell bump up to 6ft from the SSE, but the energy jumps to 1377 (strong energy) and the wind is a messy cross-on 12 mph. That’s going to be a big, choppy, heavy mess – only for the experienced crew, and even then, it’s going to be a battle. The waves will be too big for beginners, and the wind will ruin it for most.

The following week, from the 16th onward, is a mix of average conditions. Monday the 24th of August has a tiny 4ft E swell with a 8-second period, but the wind is glassy again at 0 mph. The energy is only 199 (weak), so it’s a small, clean, knee-to-waist high day. It’s surfable, but nothing to write home about.

So, the best bet is that Friday morning, the 14th of August, at Jacaraipe. It’s the only true standout in the whole 16-day window. The rest of the time, the wind is just too messy or the swell is too small.

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.
