Table - best surf conditions forecast for Jardim Atlantico over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a squiz at the Jardim Atlantico forecast for the coming days. Honestly, it’s a pretty bleak run for paddle surfing. We’re looking at a stretch where the conditions are mostly poor, with messy winds and cross-chop making it a real struggle to find anything clean. The good news doesn’t really kick in until we’re past the first week, and even then it’s touch and go.
Right now, and through most of this week, the wind is a problem. Monday morning kicks off with a light cross-shore from the north at 9 mph and a weak, short-period NE swell of 3ft. The combined energy is a meager 86, and it’s just not doing anything for us. That pattern of choppy, cross-onshore wind and small, weak swell carries right through until Friday the 17th. There’s a brief moment on the morning of Friday the 17th where we see a bump in period to 13 seconds from the south with a light cross-shore wind, but the swell is only 2ft and it’s labelled marginal. Not something to get excited about.
The first real standout, and really the only good session on the radar, is Saturday morning, July 18th. It’s not going to be pumping, but it’ll be the cleanest we’ll see. We’ve got glassy conditions – that’s flat calm wind – with a 3ft easterly swell. The period is a modest 7 seconds, and the wave energy is moderate at 149, but with the wind dead calm, those wave faces will be clean as a whistle. It's a beginner-friendly size, so if you’re learning or just want a stress-free glide, that’s your window. Because it’s a fairly consistent spot that can get crowded sometimes, you might have some company, but the conditions will be worth it.
After that, it goes back to being ordinary. We get another sneaky window on Tuesday morning, July 21st. The swell energy bumps up to 228, with a 4ft easterly swell and, importantly, glassy conditions again. That’s a decent little pulse of energy with perfect wind. That could be a real fun, clean morning surf for the more experienced lot, as the combined energy is solid. But don’t expect it to last; it’ll turn cross-onshore by the afternoon.
The rest of the run into the end of July is small and weak. On the 26th, we get another glassy morning with a piddly 2ft swell, but it’s hardly worth paddling out for. For the vast majority of this forecast, the combination of weak, short-period swell and persistent cross-shore to cross-onshore winds means the waves will be choppy and lack any real push. There's barely enough to get a proper wave face.
Honestly, for most of the next two and a half weeks, the conditions are so average for a beach setup like this that it looks more promising for kite surfing than a proper paddle session, with that consistent cross-onshore wind. The two mornings on the 18th and 21st are your only real chances for a clean wave. Keep an eye on the sky.
Rusty, signing off.

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.
