The Lowdown
Alright, let's get into it. This is Rusty, and I'm taking a good hard look at what's coming our way for Jacaraipe over the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, the first week is a bit of a struggle. We've got a few small windows of clean surf, but nothing that's really going to get the heart pumping. The water temp is sitting right around average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
The first real standout I can see is on Tuesday, August 6th. The morning session at Jacaraipe is looking like the best of the early run. We've got a clean, cross-offshore breeze from the North, and the swell is rolling in from the ENE at 4ft, with a moderate energy level (323). It's a fairly consistent sandbar break, so it should be offering some fun little runners. The wind is going to have it looking clean, which is a big plus.
Now, if you can hold out, the real gold is on Tuesday, August 12th. That morning is looking like the best of the entire forecast. We're talking glassy conditions, a light NNE breeze, and a solid 4ft ENE swell. The combined energy is strong (306), and it's going to be clean. This is the one to circle on the calendar. Crowds are possible at Jacaraipe, but on a Tuesday morning with this kind of quality, you'll want to be there early.
There's also a flicker of hope on Friday, August 8th. The morning has a nice clean cross-offshore breeze from the SW with a long-period SSE swell (13 seconds) pushing 2ft and a solid energy reading (259). The long period means better shaped waves, especially for a point or reef setup, but at a sandbar it might be a little straight. Still, it's worth a look.
The rest of the second week is a mixed bag of onshore winds and choppy conditions. The afternoon winds are a real killer here, so stick to the mornings. On Wednesday, August 13th, the morning is glassy again with a 4ft ENE swell, but the energy is a bit lower (306). It's a solid option, but not quite the standout of the 12th.
Overall, if you're looking to paddle out, the mornings of August 6th and 12th are your best bets. The 12th is the clear winner. For the rest of the time, you're either dealing with small surf or onshore chop. The setup is more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing on those afternoons.
Stay stoked, and I'll see you out there.

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.
