The Lowdown

Alright, this is Rusty. Let's have a look at what's cookin' for Jacaraipe over the next couple of weeks.

Honestly, mate, it's a bit of a slow start. The first ten days or so are pretty average, with a lot of onshore or cross-onshore wind messing things up. The water temp is sitting right on average for this time of year at 74°, so nothing weird going on there.

The first real chance to get a decent wave is on Saturday the 18th, early. The morning session is where it's at. We've got a clean 5ft swell from the East, with a short 7-second period, and a light cross-offshore breeze from the North. The combined energy of the swell is moderate (515). It's not a huge day, but it'll be clean and fun on the sandbar. The afternoon falls apart though, so get in early.

After that, we get a few mornings with clean conditions, but the swell is dropping. Sunday the 19th morning is clean again with 4ft East swell (8 seconds), but the energy is already dropping off (221). By Monday the 20th and Tuesday the 21st, the mornings are clean but the swell is small at 4ft, and the energy is weak (183 and 175). It's surfable, but nothing to get too excited about.

Then we hit a real dry spell. From the 22nd right through to the 29th, it's pretty much all poor conditions. Strong winds, messy chop, or just tiny swell. It's a proper blank run of about a week for any decent surf.

But hold on, there's a small glimmer right at the end. On Thursday the 30th, the morning forecast is looking interesting. It's glassy, with a light wind from the North, and a 4ft swell from the Northeast. It's a short-period swell at 6 seconds, so it won't have heaps of grunt, but the energy is moderate (204). The wind is glassy, which is a massive plus. The afternoon will get blown out again, but that morning slot is the best thing on the entire 16-day outlook. For a spot that's usually fairly consistent, this is a long wait, but we might get a cheeky session in there.

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.
