The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here, looking at the local surf picture for the next couple of weeks. I gotta be straight with you—it’s a tough stretch. The first real chance of anything decent doesn't show up until Saturday morning, the 5th of September, so we’re looking at a gap of almost a week with no good options. The water is sitting at a pretty standard 73°, nothing unusual for this time of year.
Let’s break it down. Saturday morning, the 5th, at Jacaraipe, we’ve got a small, clean window. The swell is tiny, around 4ft from the ENE, with a short period of 6 seconds. The wind is light out of the north, which is a cross-offshore breeze, so the surface will be clean. The combined energy is pretty weak at 246, so don't expect much power. It’s a beginner-friendly sandbar, so it’s a spot for a longboard or a funshape to get a few small ones. The crowd factor is "sometimes," so you might have some company.
The next morning that’s worth talking about is Sunday the 13th of September. Again, early morning at Jacaraipe looks the pick of the bunch. We’re looking at 3ft of swell from the east with an 8-second period, with a light north wind keeping it glassy. The energy is a bit better at 360, but still nothing to write home about. It’s not gonna be pumping, but it'll be rideable and clean for a few cruisy waves.
Look, honestly, if you’re hanging out for some proper juice, this forecast doesn’t have it. The wind is a mess for most of the period, and the swell is inconsistent. The only real standout is that Saturday the 5th morning session, purely for the clean conditions. It’s a long-range call, but looking promising. For everything else, you’re better off checking the forecast again in a few days.
Rusty, signing off.
