The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here, lookin’ over the local stretch for the next couple of weeks. Straight up, it’s a patchy run for Jacaraipe. The first few days are a write-off with messy wind and poor surf, so we’re waitin’ till Tuesday the 8th for a real window. Even then, it’s not a complete write-off if you time it right.
The standout by a long shot is Tuesday morning, September 8th. Glassy conditions – that’s right, zero wind, dead calm – and chest-high 4 ft swell from the ESE. The combined energy is a solid 281 (moderate energy), and with a 6-second period it’s a bit short-period but the glassy surface will make it super clean. This is a proper beginner-friendly sandbar break, and with that kind of morning stillness, you’ll be smilin’. The water’s 72°, which is about normal for this time of year. Crowds can be a factor here sometimes, but on a Tuesday morning you might get a few friendly ones out.
Tuesday afternoon, September 8th keeps the glassy magic. Swell picks up to 5 ft from the E, period still 7 seconds, and combined energy jumps to 396 (moderate). Still clean as a whistle. If you’ve got a board under your arm, this is the day.
Wednesday morning, September 9th is another strong contender. 6 ft from the E, 7 seconds, with a light cross-offshore breeze from the N. That’s clean faces, and energy hits 481 (moderate). This is the best size of the whole window, but the wind turns cross-on in the arvo, so get out early.
After that, it gets messy again. Thursday and Friday mornings have clean-ish conditions but the swell drops off and the energy’s weaker. The 15th and 16th bring some long-period groundswell (11 seconds) from the SSE, but combined energy is only 278 and 232, and the winds are a mix of cross-off then cross-on. Not a proper stand-out, but worth a look if you’re keen on a clean but small session.
From the 17th onward, it’s mostly marginal or poor. There’s a glimmer on Saturday the 19th morning with 6 ft from the SE and 7 seconds, but it’s a cross-shore breeze and only a marginal call. The energy is 385 (moderate), but it’s a gamble.
Overall, the best on offer is Tuesday the 8th, with the morning being the absolute pick for glassy, clean, beginner-friendly waves. Wednesday the 9th morning is the biggest and cleanest if you want a bit more push. The rest of the run is a mix of choppy, windy, or small stuff. No great long-range standouts this time.
Rusty.

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.
