The Lowdown
Alright, let's get into it. This is your local surf outlook for Jacaraipe.
Right now, the surf zone is pretty quiet, and there’s a bit of a flat spell to start off. The waves are small and the wind is mostly onshore or cross-shore, creating chop and messy conditions. The first few days, from Tuesday the 21st through to around Friday the 24th, are not worth paddling out for. Swell heights are under 5 ft but with inconsistent short-period energy from the east, and that morning glass-off on Friday the 24th is the only window where it might be a knee-slapper. We're looking at weak combined swell energy (around 133 to 142) and no real push.
The water temp is sitting at 73°F, which is pretty normal for this time of year, so no need for a thick wetsuit.
Now, the first highlight that actually stands out comes on Sunday, July 26th in the morning. It’s not massive—3 ft of swell from the SSE with a 10-second period. That’s a bit of a longer groundswell pulse and combined energy hits 234. The wind is light, cross-offshore at 9 mph, so it’ll be relatively clean. Expect peaky sandbar waves at Jacaraipe, but with that long period, you might get a longer lull between sets. The crowd factor is “sometimes” here, so it won’t be packed, but you won’t be alone either.
Moving deeper into the week, there’s a promising window on Sunday, August 2nd in the morning. This is over a week away, so treat it as a hopeful long-range target. Swell picks up to 4 ft from the SE, with a short 8-second period, but the combined energy jumps significantly to 344, signaling a moderate pulse. Offshore winds from the north at 6 mph will keep things clean. It’s still a sandbar setup, so it should offer some fun walls. The crowd may pop in a bit, but with that clean forecast, it’s the best morning of the whole outlook.
After that, the rest of the run into early August looks pretty average. Mostly onshore winds and smaller swells with messy energy. Kite surfers might have more fun on some of those stronger wind afternoons, but for paddle surfing, you’re better off saving your energy for that Sunday August 2nd morning session.
Stay tuned, conditions can shake up, but for now, keep that board waxed and wait for that August window.

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.

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.
