The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here, looking at the local stretch for the next couple of weeks. Honestly, it's a bit of a quiet spell we're in. The swell energy is low, mostly in the 100-200 range, which is pretty weak. Water temperature is sitting at 79°F with a 2°F anomaly, so it's running a touch warmer than usual for this time of year at Jardim Atlantico.

We're looking at a long gap here. The first few days are just a write-off with poor conditions and cross-onshore winds messing things up. You won't find anything worth paddling out for until Friday morning, 14 August. That morning, the wind goes glassy with a light northerly, and we've got a tiny 3 ft swell from the east at 8 seconds. The combined energy is only 100, so it's weak, but at least it's clean. It's surfable, just very ordinary.

Saturday the 15th is a no-go with cross-onshore winds, and the same goes for most of the following week. The swells are small and the winds are just not cooperating. Sunday the 16th morning has a glimmer of hope with a 3 ft east swell at 12 seconds, giving a bit more energy (223), but it's onshore and still marginal. Not a standout.

We then hit another dry spell until Wednesday the 19th of August. That morning, the wind goes glassy again with a light westerly, offering a clean 3 ft swell from the east-southeast at 8 seconds. The energy is 168, still weak, but it's the cleanest option we've seen. It's surfable, but nothing to write home about. The following Thursday the 20th morning is also marginal with a 4 ft east swell, but the wind is light cross-onshore.

The real standout, if you can call it that, is really the early morning glass-off sessions. The best bet for a clean wave is Friday the 14th of August at Jardim Atlantico. It's a beginner-friendly spot, fairly consistent, and that 3 ft swell from the east with glassy conditions will be the most fun you'll have. The crowds are possible sometimes, but with this small swell, it should be quiet. After that, the next best is Wednesday the 19th of August morning for the same reason – clean conditions on a small wave.

The second week is a bit of a blur of small, choppy surf. There's a long-period swell on the 26th afternoon, 1 ft from the south-southeast at 16 seconds, but it's tiny and cross-onshore. Not worth a look. The 27th morning has another glassy window with a 3 ft east swell, but again, it's very ordinary.

So, to sum it up: don't hold your breath. The first real chance is Friday the 14th morning. If you miss that, wait for the 19th morning. Everything else is a waste of time. Keep your eyes peeled, but forecasts can change.

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. If you surf the same spot (Jardim Atlantico) 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 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.
