The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for Jacaraipe.

This stretch of sandbar is looking like a bit of a mixed bag over the next couple of weeks. The water temperature is sitting around average for this time of year, so nothing wild there – just standard conditions. The real standout window is right at the start, so don’t sleep on that.

The best wave action is Thursday morning, August 27th. We’ve got a solid 6 ft swell from the SSE, with a long 15 second period – that’s proper groundswell, packing a punch. The combined energy is a strong 1490, so there’s plenty of juice in the water. The kicker is the wind: glassy, light from the NNE at just 3 mph. That means clean, smooth lines. This is a proper session for experienced surfers, as the size and power will be a handful for beginners. The swell direction is a bit off the optimum E, but the quality and conditions make this the clear best of the forecast.

Thursday afternoon sees a slight drop to 5 ft, but the wind swings onshore and gets cross, making things messy. Not worth it.

Friday morning, August 28th, is a decent next option. Swell drops to 4 ft from the SSE, period still a solid 13 seconds, and the energy is moderate at 575. The wind is cross-off from the N at 9 mph, keeping things clean. It’s a smaller, more manageable day for a wider range of surfers, but it’s not the stand-out.

After that, things go downhill. From Friday afternoon through to the end of the first week, we’ve got a long stretch of poor surf. The swell turns to a short, weak ENE windswell, with periods of just 7 seconds, and the wind is mostly onshore or strong, creating chop. The energy drops to low-to-moderate numbers (between 232 and 405). There’s a gap of several days where it’s just not worth paddling out – Saturday 29th through to Monday 31st are all duds.

There’s a slight flicker of hope on Tuesday morning, September 1st, with a 7 ft swell from the NE, but the period is still short at 8 seconds, and the wind is cross-off but strong at 19 mph. The energy is moderate at 841, but the quality is still marginal. The size is pushing into the too-big-for-beginners range, and the short period makes it a bit of a mess.

The middle of the week is a write-off, with small, onshore, and weak conditions. You’ll see a bit of a return in the second week, but nothing to get excited about right now.

The best bet is to get out Thursday morning, August 27th. It’s the only true standout in the whole 16-day window.

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.
