The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Look, I’m gonna level with you—this outlook is a tough one. We’ve got a stretch ahead that’s mostly a write-off for proper paddle surfing. The first decent nod doesn’t come until Monday the 14th of September, and even then, it’s marginal. So there’s a solid gap of nearly a week from the start with nothing worth getting wet for.
Alright, let’s break it down. The first time we get anything close to a look-in is Monday the 14th, morning, at Jardim Atlantico. The swell is coming from the ENE at 3 ft with a period of 7 seconds—short period windswell, nothing with much grunt. Wind is light ENE at 3 mph, barely a whisper, so it’s cross-on but with only small ripples on the surface. Water temp is sitting at 79°, which is 2° warmer than normal for this time of year—nothing wild, just a touch on the warm side. The combined swell energy reads 226, so moderate energy (226), but the comment calls it marginal. It’s a beginner-friendly spot, fairly consistent, and exposed to swell from the ESE. But with that short period and light onshore angle, you’re not scoring anything memorable. It’s the only half-chance in the whole run.
After that morning window on the 14th, it’s back to poor conditions right through to the end of the forecast. Afternoon on the 14th goes messy with stronger ENE breeze and choppy surf. The rest of the week and into the weekend stays cross-on or onshore, with swell hovering around 2 ft to 4 ft, all short-period junk. By Monday the 21st of September, the swell bumps up to 5 ft from the E, and the energy jumps to 354 (moderate to strong), but with a 9 mph cross-on breeze and the same poor surf quality label, it’s still not a goer for surfing—honestly, that setup with a beach break and consistent onshore wind would be more interesting for kite surfing than paddling.
So yeah, there’s one morning that’s barely worth a look, but if you’re after proper waves, you’re better off waiting for the next system. Forecasts can change though, so don’t lose hope.
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.
