The Lowdown
Alright, let’s have a look at what’s on offer here.
Honestly, it’s a bit of a quiet stretch ahead. The surf’s going to be pretty small and average for the next couple of weeks. There’s a bit of a gap up front with nothing really worth getting excited about. The first proper standout doesn’t show up until Thursday, September 4th, so keep that in mind if you’re jonesing for a session.
The only spot in the game is Jardim Atlantico. It’s a beginner-friendly beach break that’s fairly consistent, exposed to the east-southeast, and the optimum swell direction is east-southeast. The water temp is sitting at 78°F and that’s about 1°F above normal for this time of year – basically average, nothing weird.
The real standout lands on the morning of Thursday, September 4th. We’ve got a clean 5 ft east-northeast swell with a short 7-second period, combined energy around 274 (moderate), and the wind is a light cross-off from the south-southwest at 10 km/h. That’s a proper clean window – glassy conditions, small but rideable waves, and the place won’t be too crowded. It’s a beginner-friendly size, so it’s a good one for a longboard or a foamie.
Before that, there’s a few half-decent mornings, like Friday August 21st with a tiny 3 ft east swell and glassy conditions, but it’s very ordinary and lacking push. Another one on Sunday August 23rd and Tuesday August 25th with glassy conditions but again tiny. Nothing really firing.
From the end of August into early September, the swell picks up a little, but the wind is mostly cross-on or onshore, so the quality stays poor. August 31st sees 5 ft east swell but with a cross-on breeze – not great. September 1st is similar with more wind. September 2nd has a light cross-shore wind and 4 ft swell, but it’s just marginal.
Then on September 5th, the swell jumps to 7 ft from the northeast, but it’s onshore wind and rain showers – that’s a messy one. With that size and wind, it’s more of a kite session than a paddle.
So, to wrap it up: the only day to really pencil in is the morning of Thursday, September 4th at Jardim Atlantico. Small, clean, and beginner-friendly. The rest of the window is either flat, windy, or just ordinary. Keep an eye on the forecasts, but for now, don’t hold your breath.

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.
