The Lowdown
Alright, I’ll take it from here. Rusty here, looking at the 16-day window for Jacaraipe.
First up, the water temp’s sitting about average for this time of year, so nothing weird going on there.
Alright, the first bit of decent surf shows up Sunday morning, August 2nd. Jacaraipe’s a sandbar set-up, beginner-friendly, and fairly consistent. We’re looking at 4ft of easterly swell with a short 7-second period, not much push. But the wind is glassy, straight out of the north at 3 mph. That means clean, smooth conditions. The combined energy is moderate (222). It’s not gonna blow your mind, but for a Sunday morning paddle, it’s a nice little winner.
Monday morning, August 3rd, is still rideable with 4ft easterly swell and a slightly better 8-second period. The wind goes cross-offshore from the north at 6 mph, keeping things clean. Energy bumps up to 179. It’s not a standout, but it’s surfable and pleasant.
Tuesday morning, August 4th, is the same story: 4ft east swell, 8 seconds, north cross-offshore wind at 6 mph. The energy is moderate at 248, and the forecast says “expect good surf conditions.” That’s your pick for the first week. Small but clean, a good one for beginners to get some practice.
Wednesday morning, August 5th, is more of the same: 4ft east swell, 8 seconds, north cross-offshore at 9 mph. Energy’s up to 292. Still clean, still small.
From Thursday, August 6th, through to Monday, August 10th, it gets messy. Winds pick up, swinging cross-on and cross, and the swell gets chopped and lumpy. There’s a gap of several days where the conditions are just poor for paddling. Not worth your time.
Then, we hit the real standout. Tuesday morning, August 11th. This is the one. A 3ft SSE groundswell with a very long 14-second period. That’s a proper long-period groundswell – more energy, better shape, longer lulls. The combined energy is strong at 633. The wind is glassy from the north at 6 mph. That’s a recipe for clean, lined-up waves. Now, for a sandbar like Jacaraipe, a long period like that can sometimes make the waves break a bit straight, but with cross-off wind and that energy, it should offer some nice corner peaks. This is your highlight. Get on it.
Wednesday morning, August 12th, the swell drops to 3ft with the same 14-second period, but the wind turns cross-off at 16 mph – still clean, but smaller and with less energy (398). Thursday morning, August 13th, brings back a little more juice: 3ft, 12-second period, light cross-off wind at 6 mph, and good energy (460). A solid backup if you miss Tuesday.
After that, the swell fades into the second week – smaller, shorter periods, and a lot of onshore wind. The rest of the window looks like a write-off for clean, quality surf at Jacaraipe.
So, bottom line: the best on offer is Tuesday morning, August 11th. Glassy, solid groundswell energy, and those long, clean lines. Don’t sleep on it.
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.
