The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again, but this time in feet and miles per hour for the imperial crew.
Let’s talk Jacaraipe. This is a sandbar break that holds fairly consistent, and it likes an east swell. But the first chunk of the run is a struggle. From Sunday July 26th through the end of the month and into early August, it’s mostly cross or onshore wind blowing over small weak surf. Wave energy is low, mostly triple digits or less (264 down to 39), so it’s flat and bumpy. There’s a brief window Monday morning the 27th with glassy wind on a 3ft SSE swell, but the period is short at 9 seconds. Not worth getting the board wet unless you’re really jonesin’.
Through the 1st to the 5th of August, it stays small – knee to waist high – with clean cross-off winds but very little push. Energy readings stay low to moderate (61–296). Tuesday morning the 4th offers a cleaner look with a longer period 2ft SSE swell (11 seconds) and moderate energy (293), but it’s barely marginal.
Then things change. Friday morning August 7th is the highlight. A 3ft SE groundswell arrives with a long 14-second period and strong energy (686). The wind goes dead calm – glassy. This is the session to circle on the calendar. The sandbar might make the long-period waves a bit straight-running, but with that kind of quality and no wind, it’ll be the cleanest and most powerful surf in the whole forecast.
Saturday the 8th and Sunday the 9th still offer 4–5ft east swell with clean offshore north winds, but the period drops to 8 seconds, so it’s less organized. Energy is still solid (368–532). Monday the 10th gives another glassy morning with 5ft ENE swell and light west-southwest cross-off wind. That 727 energy reading is serious, and the conditions are excellent.
So the first week is mostly a bust. The real action runs from the 7th through the 10th, and Friday the 7th is the best of the bunch – glassy, long period, and big energy. That’s your day if you want the best waves of the 16-day outlook.

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.
