Righto, let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for the next couple of weeks. Honestly, I’m gonna call it straight – this is a tough stretch for anyone looking to get a proper wave. The swell is tiny and the wind just hasn’t got its act together for most of the run. There’s a bit of a gap at the start; nothing really worth paddling out for until Thursday morning, July 9th.
The first hint of something surfable comes on Thursday morning, July 9th, at Jardim Atlantico. We’re talking a tiny 1 ft swell from the SE, but the real hero here is the wind – it’s glassy. That’s a major win. The swell is coming in with a long period of 13 seconds, which is groundswell, so it’ll have some push for its size. The combined energy is weak though, only 102. It’s a beginner-friendly spot, and with the water temp sitting at 79°, which is about bang on average for the time of year, it’ll be a pleasant, if not very exciting, morning session. Expect it to be a bit inconsistent.
The next little window that shows a pulse is Tuesday morning, July 14th. The swell bumps up to 3 ft from the ENE, but the period drops right off to a short 6 seconds – that’s windswell, not much grunt. The wind goes glassy again though, which is a positive. The combined energy is still weak at 100. It’s surfable, but very ordinary.
Now, if you’re looking for the standout, you have to hold out for the third week. The swell starts to build from Sunday, July 20th, and into Monday and Tuesday, July 21st and 22nd. The size gets up to 5 ft from the E with a period of 8 seconds. The combined energy ramps up considerably, hitting 584 on Wednesday morning, July 22nd – that’s moderate wave energy with some real grunt. The wind is a cross-shore breeze, so it’ll be a bit bumpy, but for a 5 ft wave, it’s the best we’re going to get. This is for the more experienced crew; at that size, it’s getting too big for beginners. The swell direction is ESE, which is a good angle for this spot. It’s a promising end to the run, but being so far out – over a week – treat it with a bit of caution.
So, bottom line: the first week is a write-off unless you’re desperate for a glassy float on a knee-high wave. The best bet, and the only real standout, is Wednesday morning, July 22nd, when the E swell peaks at 5 ft. It’s not perfect, but it’s the best we’ve got.

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.
