The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the cards for Jardim Atlantico over the next couple of weeks.
First off, I gotta be straight with you – the next few days are looking pretty grim. We’ve got a pulse of easterly swell coming through from Friday the 17th through to the 20th, with waves around 4 ft to 5 ft, but the wind is a real killer. It’s a cross-onshore from the ESE, blowing 9 to 12 mph, and the forecast is calling it "poor surf conditions" the whole way through. The wave energy is moderate, hitting between 208 and 330, but it's all messy and choppy. Not worth paddling out for.
The first real glimmer of hope comes on Tuesday the 21st. The morning session is looking like the standout for the whole period. We’ve got a clean 5 ft easterly swell at 8 seconds, but the wind swings to a light offshore from the WSW at only 3 mph. The forecast says "expect good surf conditions," and I’m feeling it – that offshore breeze will make for some clean lines. The only catch? It’s a beginner spot, so 5 ft is on the upper end of comfortable for newer surfers, but for anyone with a few sessions under their belt, Tuesday morning is the one to aim for. The water temperature is a warm 78°F, which is about average for this time of year, so no wetsuit needed.
Wednesday the 22nd could also be a good one if you’re an early bird. The morning is looking glassy with a 4 ft easterly swell and a slight 3 mph offshore from the NW. That’s clean, clean, clean. The energy is moderate at 228, so it’s not a powerhouse, but it’ll be fun. The afternoon winds turn onshore, so get it while it’s good.
After that, the swell starts to fade. Thursday the 23rd and Friday the 24th still have some rideable 3 ft to 4 ft waves, and the mornings are glassy again, but it’s pretty ordinary. By Saturday the 25th, the swell drops to 3 ft, and the wind is cross-onshore again, making it a bit bumpy.
From Sunday the 26th onwards, we’re into a real flat spell. The swell drops to 3 ft, then to 2 ft or 2 ft, with very weak wave energy – we’re talking 33 to 75. There’s a couple of glassy mornings in there, but there’s just not enough push to get excited about. That flat spell looks like it’ll last right through to the end of the month and into August, with barely a ripple.
Honestly, if you want a wave, your best bet is the morning of Tuesday the 21st. It’s the cleanest, most promising window we’ve got. After that, you’re waiting a long time.
Rusty.

Information about the Jardim Atlantico Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Jardim Atlantico provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Jardim Atlantico can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Jardim Atlantico 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 Jardim Atlantico 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.
