The Lowdown
Alright crew, Rusty here again. Jardim Atlantico is going through a flat, messy spell, so don’t expect much over the next couple of weeks. There are only a couple of brief moments when you might score.
Right now, Wednesday and Thursday are a no-go. Swell is around 4 to 5 ft from the east, but cross-onshore winds are tearing it up, making for choppy junk. Moderate wave energy (333) but poor quality. Water temp is 79°, about normal for this time of year.
There’s a big gap of over a week with no decent surf from Wednesday all the way through to early next Thursday. Most days are blown out by onshore flow.
Your best bet is Friday morning, September 4th. The wind turns glassy, and we’ve got a 4 ft east swell with a 9-second period and moderate energy (272). That glassy wind will make it clean and smooth. The east swell is close to the optimum east-southeast direction. Crowds show up sometimes, so get there early.
After that, it’s back to onshore junk. Saturday the 5th has 3 ft east swell but light cross-shore winds, and the wave comment says poor.
The other window is Saturday morning, September 12th. The wind goes glassy again with 4 ft east swell, 8-second period, and moderate energy (240). Another chance for clean, smooth waves. Crowds are possible.
The rest of the forecast is a mix of east and east-northeast swells with onshore and cross-onshore winds, rain, and thunderstorms. Swell energy stays moderate (100-321 range). Nothing worth chasing.
Two sessions to aim for: Friday morning the 4th and Saturday morning the 12th – both with glassy winds. Otherwise, sit it out. The breaks are fairly consistent around here, so better days will come.

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.
