Jardim Atlantico Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming up for Jardim Atlantico over the next couple of weeks.

We’re looking at a pretty mellow window, nothing too crazy. The swell’s hanging around in the 3 to 4 ft range for the first few days, coming from the east. The real hero here is the window starting Tuesday morning, August 4th. The wind is glassy, it’s clean, and the waves are there. Sure, it’s not a monster, but for a beginner-friendly spot, it’s a great little session. The water temp is about average for this time of year.

Tuesday morning, August 4th is the top pick. East swell at 4 ft, period a short 8 seconds, but the wind is glassy. The combined energy is moderate (187). The conditions are clean, and the crowds are sometimes around, so you might have a few friends out, but it’s not a zoo. The offshore wind direction is west, which is keeping it tidy. It’s a surfer’s morning.

Wednesday morning, August 5th is another glassy one, though the swell drops a bit to 3 ft. Still a clean option with moderate energy (138). It’s worth a paddle if you missed the Tuesday session.

After that, the wind turns more cross or cross-on for the rest of the week, and the quality drops. Thursday morning, August 6th, is glassy again with 3 ft east swell and moderate energy (155), but the pattern is a bit hit and miss. Some mornings are glassy, some afternoons get chopped up.

From Friday, August 7th through to the middle of the second week, things get pretty ordinary. The swell drops to 3 ft or lower, the wind is mostly cross or cross-on, and the energy drops into the two-digit range (low to moderate). There’s a long stretch of days with poor conditions. You’re looking at more than a week of “meh” before anything changes.

There’s a little flicker of hope on the last day, Wednesday morning, August 19th. The wind goes glassy again, with a small 3 ft swell from the east-northeast, couple of showers around, but it’s the cleanest thing in a long time. The energy is low (85), but if you’re desperate, it’s your best bet in the second week.

Overall, the first couple of days are your best bet. After that, it’s a long stretch of small, messy surf. It’s a pretty typical quiet spell for this area – the forecasts can change, but for now, the first Tuesday and Wednesday mornings are the standout windows.

Stay frothy,
Rusty
