The Lowdown
Alright, grab a coffee and settle in, because I’ve got the full rundown for Jardim Atlantico, and I’ll be honest with you—it’s not looking like a classic stretch. We’ve got a 16-day window, and right from the start, things are pretty grim.
The water's sitting at 79°, which is about 2° warmer than usual for this time of year. It’s a touch on the warm side, but nothing too wild.
For the first few days, from the 9th to the 13th, we’re looking at small, weak surf. Swell heights are hovering around 3ft to 4ft, but the energy is just not there, with combined energy readings in the low-to-mid hundreds, like 94, 126, and 222. The period is short too, mostly 7 to 8 seconds. That means the waves will be soft, lacking any push. To make it worse, the wind is mostly cross-onshore or onshore, from the E and ENE, at 6-9 mph, which is enough to chop things up. There are a few mornings with light breezes, which is something, but the overall message is "poor surf conditions." You’d be fighting for a crumbly, weak wave and it just won’t be worth it. The only days that even get close to a "maybe" are the 11th and 13th, but they’re still just marginal at best.
We then go through a long stretch of nothing. From the 14th through to the 24th, there are no good options on the table. That’s about a week and a half of flat, weak, or messy surf. The swell stays small, mostly under 4ft, and the energy is consistently weak. The wind doesn’t give us a break either, constantly coming from the east and north-east. There’s a slight bump in energy on the 20th with a 225 reading, but the 7-second period and onshore wind just kill it. It’s a tough, drawn-out lull. Honestly, for a stretch like this, it’s just the reality of the area. We don’t have consistent swell, so this can happen. The good news is, forecasts change, and this kind of run doesn’t usually last forever.
So, the long and short of it is: there’s nothing on the cards for anyone. If you’re a beginner, the small size won’t help you if there are no waves. If you’re a kitesurfer, the wind might be okay at times, but for us paddle surfers, it’s not looking exciting. We’re just going to have to wait this one out. The first few days are poor, and the following week and a half is a total blank. It’s a frustrating outlook, but that’s the way it goes sometimes.
Keep your board waxed and your eyes on the horizon. Things will turn around eventually.

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.
