The Lowdown
Alright, grab your stick, let's talk about what's coming up for Jacaraipe.
This is a tough one to start with, mate. We’ve got a pretty grim run of weather setting in. The beginning of this outlook is a write-off for any decent waves. Monday the 31st and Tuesday the 1st are firing up some 19 mph winds that are just going to tear the ocean apart, mixing with a weak, short-period swell. For a solid week, the combined energy is pitiful, with readings under 300, and a lot of it struggling to even crack 100 (down to 56 and 63 on the 7th and 8th of September). It’s a classic dry spell for this spot, winds are all over the shop and the swell just isn't there.
You’ve got to be patient, because it’s not until Wednesday the 9th of September morning that we finally see a glimmer of hope. The winds drop out completely – glassy conditions – and a 6 ft bump from the SE rolls in. This is the first time the combined energy looks respectable at 409 and the wave comment turns positive. That morning window is your first real shot, and it looks like the best of the initial run.
From there, the forecast gets a bit messy again with cross-shore winds building through the 10th and 11th, producing some bigger swell around 7 ft, but it's lumpy. The real standout appears on Sunday the 13th of September afternoon. Once again, we get a window of glassy, clean conditions. Swell is a solid 6 ft from the ENE, combined energy at 422, and the comment says "expect good surf." This is your best bet, right here. We get clean lines with a bit of punch.
Monday the 14th morning continues the theme with clean conditions and lighter offshore winds from the N, and a 5 ft E swell (energy 411). It’s a close second. After that, the week finishes off with fun-sized, clean options but the winds get stronger again by Tuesday afternoon.
Honestly, if you can wait, the 13th afternoon is the one to aim for. It’s not classic Jacaraipe, but a glassy 6 ft wave is way better than a windy 3 ft slop.

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.

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.
