The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, checkin' in.
Right off the bat, the next couple of weeks look a bit grim for Jardim Atlantico. There's a big ol' gap of nothin' to get excited about for the first few days. The swell's there, around waist to chest high, but the wind's just wrong. We're lookin' at a lot of cross-shore and cross-onshore garbage, especially through Wednesday the 15th and Thursday the 16th, with that 12 mph SSE breeze just killin' the surface. It's not worth paddlin' out for that kind of chop.
Now, Sunday the 19th is where we see a little light. We've got a 4ft E swell rollin' in with a 8-second period, but the real story is the wind. We get a 3 mph cross-offshore from the SSW in the mornin'. That's gonna clean things up nicely (energy 212). It's not massive, but it'll be smooth and the water's sittin' around 79°, which is pretty much normal for this time of year. It's a solid "beginners' special" kind of window.
Then, hold on to your board. The real standout is Thursday the 30th of July. That morning session is the pick of the entire outlook. We're lookin' at a 6ft SSE groundswell with an 8-second period, but the energy jumps way up to 502. The wind swings around to a clean 9 mph cross-offshore from the S. That's game on. That's the session where you clear your calendar. It'll have some push, but at that size, it's still manageable for a confident intermediate. Just be aware that because it's a beach-and-reef setup, that little long-period bump might make it a bit walled-up in sections, but the clean conditions should make up for it.
The rest of the window is pretty much a write-off. We get a long stretch of poor conditions with onshore or cross-onshore wind from the 22nd right through to the 29th of July. There's a tiny whisper of a chance on the morning of the 26th with a clean 3ft swell, but it's just too small to be worth the drive.
So, to keep it simple: that Sunday the 19th morning is your tame, clean fun, but Thursday the 30th of July morning is the one to wait for.
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.
