The Lowdown
Alright, let's get into it. This is Rusty, and I'm looking at the forecast for Jacaraipe.
First up, the water temp is sittin' at 71°, which is a bit cooler than we're used to for this time of year – about 3° off the mark, so you'll want a decent spring suit.
The week starts off with a bit of promise. Tuesday the 25th morning is where it's at. We've got a clean 4ft groundswell from the SSE, with a long 15-second period, and the wind is a light cross-off from the north. The water is glassy and the waves are gonna have some real push to 'em. The combined energy is moderate (697), but with that period and clean conditions, you'll be in for a treat. The afternoon is a write-off with a strong onshore breeze, so make the most of the morning.
The stand-out of the whole run is Wednesday the 26th morning. It's a similar story: clean, 3ft from the SSE, but with a 14-second period and that light north cross-off. The energy is still moderate (607), but it's going to be a super fun, longboard-friendly wave. After that, the wind goes to shit again in the afternoon, and Thursday the 27th gets a bit lumpy and messy with a bigger 6ft swell, but it's not really holding together.
We then hit a real rough patch. From Friday the 28th through to the end of the month, it's mostly windy, with a messy, short-period wind swell from the ENE. There's a lot of chop and onshore wind, making it a tough paddle. The 5ft to 7ft waves are there, but the quality is poor. You'd be better off on a kiteboard than a surfboard for most of that stretch.
There's a little glimmer on Tuesday the 1st of September morning. The wind goes dead calm, glassy, and the swell is a solid 6ft from the NE. The period is a short 8 seconds though, so it'll be a bit fat and dumpy, and the energy is moderate (385). Not a total dud, but not a standout.
The rest of the first week of September is a mixed bag of marginal conditions and onshore winds, with a bit of a south swell coming through. The morning of Friday the 4th of September looks good with a clean 4ft from the SSE and a 10-second period, but it's not as strong as the earlier windows.
Finally, on the 9th of September, we get a Wednesday morning with a decent 7ft ENE swell and a light cross-off wind. The problem is, that's a touch too big for this spot, and it's a week and a half away, so take it with a grain of salt. The energy is moderate to strong (847), but it's a big, powerful wave for a sandbar, and the wind is only so-so.
Overall, if you're looking for the best, get out there on the morning of Tuesday the 25th or Wednesday the 26th of August. That's your window. The rest is a waiting game, with a few potentially fun mornings if you're keen to pick your moments.
Stay stoked, and I'll see you in the water.

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.
