The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Looking at Jacaraipe, it's a sandbar break that's good for the groms and beginners. Water temp is about 73°F, which is totally normal for the season.
The next week and a half is a bit of a rollercoaster. Thursday morning, July 16th, we get a pulse of moderate wave energy (579) with 5ft of SE swell at 10 seconds, but a light NE cross-onshore breeze at 3 mph puts a little wrinkle on it. It’s doable, but not clean. Afternoon is a write-off with stronger wind, so get up early.
Friday morning, July 17th, is where it’s at. The wind goes light N at 3 mph, cross-offshore, cleaning everything up. Swell is a solid 5ft from the SE, but the period jumps to 11 seconds, giving you more power and shape (497). This is your best session early on.
Saturday morning, July 18th, is a dead-set gem. Glassy, dead calm with 5ft of E swell. It’s on the short side at 7 seconds, so it’s a bit weaker (328), but clean, easy waves on the sandbar for a fun, friendly paddle. Crowds can show up, but it’s worth it.
After Saturday, it gets patchy. We get clean mornings like Tuesday the 21st with 4ft of E swell (201), but then it gets windy. The best of the average days is Friday morning, July 24th, with 5ft of NE swell (353) and clean wind, but the period is a short 7 seconds, so the waves are a bit flat and slow.
From the 22nd onward, it’s mostly a bust. Mornings are clean but the swell is weak or the wind is too strong. The last few days are trash—big winds, choppy water. There’s a tiny, tiny window on Wednesday, July 29th, with 2ft of SSE swell at 11 seconds and glassy conditions (159), but that’s barely a ripple.
For the true picks: hit Friday morning, July 17th for the best mix of size, period, and clean wind. Saturday morning, July 18th is your glassy, fun-sized session. The second week looks poor—small, short-period junk or blown-out with strong wind, so don’t hold your breath for anything special.

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.
