The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here, let's talk about what's on the menu for the next couple of weeks. To be honest, it's a bleak stretch ahead for Jardim Atlantico. The water is sitting at a warm 78°, which is about normal for this time of year, but that's where the good news ends.

We're kicking off on Wednesday, 19th August with a tiny 4-ft easterly swell on a short 8-second period, and an onshore breeze. The wave energy is weak (171), and it's just poor surf. Thursday morning, 20th August, is the only real glimmer in the whole run. We get a glassy 3-ft east swell, still short period at 8 seconds, but that light SSE wind will make it clean. The wave energy is low (130), and the conditions are just "surfable waves but very ordinary." It's not a standout, but it's the best we've got.

From there, it's a long, slow grind. The rest of August and into the first week of September is just a parade of poor surf. The swell stays small, mostly under 3-ft, the period is short (7-8 seconds), and the wind is almost always onshore or cross-onshore. There's a small bump in energy around the 30th of August, with a 5-ft ENE swell pushing wave energy to 415 (moderate), but it's accompanied by a 9 mph cross-onshore wind, so it's still messy. The 31st of August morning shows a "marginal" call with a 5-ft ENE swell and 453 wave energy, but the wind is cross-shore, so it's just enough to maybe get you out if you're desperate.

The 1st of September is more of the same: 5-ft ENE swell, cross-shore winds, and a "marginal" tag. The 2nd of September brings a risk of thunderstorms and a 12 mph cross-onshore breeze. Honestly, it's a 16-day window with almost nothing to get excited about. For a beginner-friendly spot that's fairly consistent, this is a flat spell that's a bit unusual. The setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing on most days, especially when the energy picks up with the onshore winds.

Keep an eye on the forecasts, but for now, I'd be finding something else to do.

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.
