The Lowdown
Righto, let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for Jacaraipe over the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, the first week and a half is a bit of a write-off. There’s surfable swell rolling through, but the wind just won’t play ball. We’ve got some pushy ENE and S swells – between 3 ft and 7 ft – but it’s nearly always cross or cross-onshore, and often blowing a fresh breeze. That’s creating lumpy, choppy conditions that aren’t worth paddling out for. The combined energy sits in the moderate range, which tells you there’s power there, but it’s messy power.
The standout moment – and this is the one to circle – is Monday the 14th in the morning. That’s two weeks out, so keep an eye on the models, but right now it’s looking like the best window. We’ve got a glassy start to the day with an offshore wind, and a lovely long-period groundswell from the SSE at 3 ft but with a period of 14 seconds. That kind of period means proper lines and real push for a small wave. For a sandbar setup like Jacaraipe, that long period can make things a bit straight, but when it’s glassy and clean, it’ll be fun on the right bank. The combined energy is moderate-to-strong, so there’s more juice than the height suggests.
After that morning window, it all goes to custard again with a strong southerly breeze kicking up chop. And the following days are similar – plenty of swell energy, but the wind is too strong and cross, so it’s rough out there.
So, for this run: the only real highlight is that Monday 14th morning session. Get on it early, because by lunchtime it’s blown out.

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.
