Table - best surf conditions forecast for Jardim Atlantico over the next 16 days.
Alright, let’s talk about Jardim Atlantico in feet and miles per hour. The forecast is a bit of a slow burner, with a lot of junk to wade through before we get to anything decent.
From now until the 20th of July, it’s poor. The swell is tiny, mostly under 3 feet, and the wind is either cross-onshore or onshore, making a mess of things. The combined energy is weak to moderate, nothing to get excited about. You’re looking at a long stretch of flat, choppy water.
The first real chance shows up on Monday the 21st of July morning. The swell jumps to 4 feet from the east, with a 8-second period. The wind goes light south, giving us a clean, cross-offshore breeze. The combined energy is 345 (moderate), the best of the whole run. That’s your window. It’s a beginner-friendly spot, so that 4-foot swell is ideal. Crowds are a possibility, but it’s worth the gamble.
After that, Wednesday the 22nd afternoon brings a bigger pulse – 6 feet from the ESE, 8-second period, with combined energy hitting 878 (strong). That’s a lot of water, getting into the expert-only zone. The wind is cross-onshore, so expect chop.
The mornings of Friday the 24th and Saturday the 25th are glassy, but the swell drops to 3-4 feet from the east. It’s clean but ordinary, with moderate energy.
The only real standout is Monday the 21st morning. Clean, head-high waves, light offshore wind. Everything else is a waiting game. You’ll be twiddling your thumbs for a week, but that one session could be a gem.

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.
