The Lowdown
Alright, I’m looking at Jardim Atlantico, and it’s a rough road ahead. A long stretch of just frustrating conditions before anything even looks like a real session. The water is about 78°F, which is pretty normal for this time of year, so you won’t be shivering while you’re waiting for a wave that never shows.
The first real chance you get is on Monday, August 10th in the morning. The swell is a tiny 3ft from the east, with a short 7-second period, so it’s weak and grovelly. The wave energy is really low at 70. But the wind is glassy, and that’s the only thing that makes it okay. It’s surfable, but only just. It’s small enough for beginners, but it’s just “ordinary” quality. After that, the wind swings onshore and it’s back to choppy mess.
Then we go through another long, dry spell. The next tiny glimmer is on Friday, August 14th morning. Again, dawn glass with 3ft east swell, 8-second period, and energy at 86. It’s the same story: a bit of glass to get a few little ones, but it’s not a highlight.
The swell finally pushes up a bit on Saturday, August 22nd. We’re looking at 4ft from the east, with a short 7-second period and moderate energy at 251. The wind is light and onshore from the ESE in the morning. The quality is still poor, and it’s not a standout. The direction is a touch off from the optimum ESE, and the wind is never truly offshore. It’s the biggest swell of the window, but the conditions are just not making it work.
The best bet in this whole 16-day window is that Monday morning, August 10th or that Friday morning, August 14th session. They’re not standouts, but when the wind goes glassy, it’s the only time you’ll get a clean wave. It’s a tough run for Jardim. The crowds might be around, but for a long time, it’s just not worth it.

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.
