The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it. We’ve got a pretty flat and average run for the next 16 days at Jardim Atlantico. The water is sitting around average for the time of year, nothing unusual there.
The pattern starts off pretty ugly. For the first five days, from Thursday 6th right through to Monday 11th, it’s mostly a write-off. The wind is a problem, coming in from the SE, NE, and NNE, mostly cross-onshore, just making a mess of the small waves. There’s a small window early on Thursday 6th morning – a glassy 4ft set from the east, but the period is a short 8 seconds and the combined energy is weak (175). The 10th of August Monday morning is a bit better, with glassy conditions and 3ft east swell, and the energy picks up a little (228), but it’s still a short period. It’s rideable, but nothing to get excited about.
Then we hit a long gap. From Monday afternoon through to the 18th of August, it’s a real struggle. The wind is mostly cross-on or onshore, and the swell is small, weak, and short period. A few days show a longer period swell (13 seconds on the 16th), but the wind is just too crappy to make it work. It’s a flat, frustrating stretch.
The one real standout in this whole outlook is the morning of Tuesday, 18th of August. We get a glassy, clean start with a 5ft swell from the northeast. The combined energy jumps up to a solid moderate (310), and the period is still short at 7 seconds, but the glassy conditions mean it’ll be the cleanest wave of the entire period. This is the pick of the bunch.
After that, it fades fast. The 19th and 20th go back to small, weak, and choppy. The 21st looks like more of the same.
So, if you’re in the area, don’t get your hopes up for the next week. The real one to pencil in is the morning of Tuesday, 18th of August. Glassy, solid, and clean. That’s the one.
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.
Jardim Atlantico is 9 km (6 miles) from the city of Ilheus. If you plan a holiday in Bahia - Sul, look for hotels and other accommodation in Ilheus. Ilheus has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
