The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here, looking at what's on the menu for the next couple of weeks. We've got a bit of a slow start, but there's a window of cleaner conditions later on that’s worth getting excited about.

Let’s kick things off at Jacaraipe (sandbar). The first solid shot comes in on Monday, July 20. The morning session is where it's at. We’re looking at a 5 ft east swell, with a light cross-offshore breeze from the north at just 3 mph. The combined energy is moderate (226), and it’s going to be clean. That’s a good beginner-friendly wave for the early bird. The afternoon, though, gets blown out by a strong 15 mph cross-onshore, so don't bother after lunch.

Tuesday is a write-off for decent surf, with the wind cranking up again. Wednesday morning, July 22, offers another clean window with a 4 ft easterly swell and a cross-off breeze. The energy is still moderate (217), but the wind is a bit stronger at 12 mph, so it’s not as polished as Monday. The afternoon turns into a messy cross-chop.

Thursday morning, July 23, is clean but the swell drops to 4 ft with weak energy (152), making it a pretty ordinary day. Friday morning, July 24, is similar with a 3 ft east swell and light winds, but the energy is anemic (126). Just small, clean waves.

Saturday and Sunday, July 25 and 26, are poor. The morning of the 26th has a 3 ft swell with clean conditions, but the energy is still low (196). It’s barely surfable.

Now, here’s where it gets interesting. After a long run of average conditions, the end of the week shows some promise. Monday, July 27, we see a new pulse of swell from the south, 5 ft at 10 seconds. The combined energy jumps to a strong 633, but the wind is a cross-shore, and conditions are described as marginal with a slight cross-chop. Not the best, but there’s energy in the water.

The real standout is Wednesday morning, July 29. This is the pick of the whole forecast. The swell is 5 ft from the southeast with a period of 11 seconds, giving it proper groundswell power. The combined energy is very strong (673). The wind is light and offshore from the north at 9 mph, making for clean, lined-up waves. This is a legit morning for experienced surfers. The afternoon gets blown out again, so get out there early.

After that, the swell fades through the end of July and into the first week of August. Monday, August 3, and Tuesday, August 4, both have clean mornings with a 3 ft east swell, but the period is long (13 seconds on the 3rd, 11 seconds on the 4th). The energy is moderate (341 and 303). These are small, clean days with long-period swells that will be better for the sandbar. Not a standout, but a nice way to ease into the work week.

Overall, the best bet is Wednesday, July 29, for the biggest, cleanest, and most powerful surf. The Monday and Tuesday of the following week offer small, clean options for those who just need a fix.

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.
