The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s see what’s cooking at Jacaraipe for the next couple of weeks.
Straight up, the first week is a bust. We’re looking at 6 days of poor surf, so don’t bother waxing up. The water is 74°, which is right on the money for this time of year.
Your best bet in the near future is the morning of August 1st. That Saturday is a cracker. The wind is glassy from the north, and the waves are a clean 2 ft from the SSE with a long 12-second period. That’s groundswell, and the energy is solid at 256. It’s a sandbar break, so the long period might make it a bit straight, but with glassy conditions and offshore wind, it’ll be a fun morning. The crowd factor is “sometimes,” so you won’t be alone, but it’s manageable.
If you can wait, the morning of August 5th is also worth a look. The swell is 3 ft from the SSE, period 10 seconds, with light cross-off wind from the north. The combined energy is 329, and the conditions are clean. It’s not big, but it’s a nice setup for a relaxed session.
Later in the second week, on August 7th, the swell jumps to 5 ft from the east with an 8-second period. That’s short-period, so it’ll be a bit lumpy, but the energy hits 626, which is strong. The morning has cross-off wind and clean conditions, but the size is getting up there, so it’s more for the experienced crew.
The rest of the forecast is a mix of cross-on wind, chop, and onshore slop. There are a few clean mornings, but the wind and swell direction don’t line up. If you’re into kite surfing, some of those afternoons with 18 mph cross-onshore wind and 5 ft waves might be your thing.
First week is a write-off, but that August 1st morning is the standout.
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.
