Table - best surf conditions forecast for Jacaraipe over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what we’ve got coming up for Jacaraipe.
Things start off pretty quiet, but there’s a nice little window on the horizon. The first real action worth paddling out for kicks off on Thursday July 16th. We’ve got a clean, glassy morning with 6 ft of swell rolling in from the SE. The period is a solid 11 seconds, so there’s some proper energy behind it (combined energy of all swells directed here is 683) and that offshore glass will have things looking like a mirror. This is the standout of the whole run – a true gem. Later that afternoon, the wind chops it up, so get out early.
Friday July 17th morning is also a good bet. Another 5 ft of SE swell, clean with a light cross-off breeze. It won’t be as big as Thursday, but the quality should be there. The energy is still decent at 686, and the period holds at 12 seconds. This is your backup option for the week.
After that, things taper off. Saturday July 18th has a clean morning with smaller 4 ft surf, but the energy drops off quickly. From Sunday July 19th through to Wednesday July 22nd, we hit a bit of a lull. The mornings are clean but the surf is small – mostly knee to waist high, with weak 7-second windswell. There’s a gap of a few days here where it’s not worth rushing for.
Thursday July 23rd and Friday July 24th show a slight pulse, but the period stays short, and the afternoons are blown out by strong onshore winds. Not really worth getting excited about.
Then we look at the very end of the run. Monday July 27th brings a solid bump in energy – we’re talking 5 ft of SSE swell with a very long 15-second period. The combined energy jumps to 1031, which is strong. However, it’s a long-period groundswell, and Jacaraipe is a sandbar setup, so those waves might be a bit too straight and tricky to line up. The wind is light and cross-shore, but with light rain in the morning. There’s potential there for the experienced crew, but it’s a long way out and less certain.
So to wrap up: your best bet is Thursday July 16th morning, with Friday July 17th morning as a close second. The rest of the month is largely quiet or blown out.
Stay stoked,
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.
