The Lowdown
Imperial Version
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a proper look at what’s coming our way for Jacaraipe.
The next couple of weeks are a bit of a mixed bag, with a lot of average days and some questionable winds. We’ve got a few sessions that could be alright, but there’s a real standout later on that you’ll want to keep an eye on. There’s a bit of a lull in quality to start, then things build as we head towards the end of the month.
First up, Tuesday the 15th isn’t really on. The morning has some potential with a clean 3ft easterly swell, but it’s small and a little weak. The afternoon turns ugly with a strong cross-onshore wind making a mess of things. Wednesday the 16th morning is better – we’ve got a bit of a shift with a 3ft swell from the SSE, a nice long 9-second period, and a light offshore wind from the southwest. It’ll be clean, but it’s still small. The rest of the week up to the 20th is pretty average, with onshore winds and choppy conditions making it a write-off. The swell energy stays moderate (around 300).
Now, there’s a window opening on Sunday the 21st. The morning of Monday the 22nd is worth a look. We’ve got a 5ft easterly swell, a clean cross-offshore wind from the north, and the water is sitting at a pleasant 73°, which is spot on for the time of year. The swell energy is moderate (293). It’s not huge, but the conditions will be clean and fun. Crowds can be an issue here at Jacaraipe, so get out early.
The real standout is at the very end of the run. For Tuesday the 29th and Wednesday the 30th, the swell size jumps, but more importantly, the period gets long. On the Tuesday afternoon, we’re looking at a 5ft swell from the SSE with a period of 16 seconds – that’s proper groundswell. The combined swell energy is very strong (1958). The wind is a gentle cross-onshore which will put a bit of texture on it, so it won’t be perfect but the energy will be there. This is a long-period swell, which can make for some better-shaped waves at Jacaraipe, especially if it’s wrapping in. The Wednesday morning hangs in there with more solid energy (837) and an even lighter wind. This is the best bet of the whole 16 days, though keep in mind it’s a long-range call and things can shift. That sort of size (5-5ft) and long period is a solid step up from the small stuff we’ve seen. It’s promising.
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.
