Jardim Atlantico Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for the next couple of weeks.

Well, I gotta be straight with you – the next 16 days are a bit of a tough stretch for Jardim Atlantico. The first real chance to get wet doesn’t show up until Wednesday the 5th. Before that, Tuesday the 4th is a no-go, with marginal conditions and small wind. So we’re looking at a couple of days of flat nothing before we get a pulse.

The overall pattern is small and pretty average. We’re mostly dealing with weak, short-period easterly windswell, period hanging around 7 to 8 seconds, which doesn’t pack much punch. The water temp is sitting at 79°, which feels about normal for this time of year, maybe just a hair warmer than average.

Wednesday morning the 5th is your best bet for the whole run. The wind goes glassy, dead calm from the SSW, and we’ve got a clean 3 ft of east swell. The energy is weak (138), but those glassy conditions will make it look a million times better than the size suggests. For a beginner-friendly break like this, that’s the window to get out. It’s surfable, but very ordinary.

Thursday morning the 6th is another glassy morning with the same 3 ft east swell, but the wind is from the NNW and it’s just as clean. Again, it’s ordinary, but it’s a paddle. The afternoons are a write-off – cross-onshore winds ruin the shape.

Friday morning the 7th gives us a clean, cross-off wind with 3 ft east swell, but the energy is dropping (99). Still, it’s clean.

After that, it’s a long stretch of poor conditions. From Saturday the 8th all the way through to Sunday the 16th, every day is either poor surf or ordinary with cross-onshore winds. We get a brief moment on Tuesday the 11th with a glassy morning, 3 ft east swell, but it’s still weak. The swell does try to push a little higher on the 12th and 13th, with a 6 ft and 5 ft east-southeast swell, but the winds are cross-onshore and the quality is shot. That’s a beach setup with a bit of size and wrong wind – not really worth it for a paddle.

The very end of the run, around Monday the 17th and into the 18th, we see the period jump to 11 seconds and then drop to 5-6 seconds, but the swell is tiny and the wind is onshore. Nothing to get excited about.

So, the standout is Wednesday morning the 5th. The whole window is pretty weak, but that glassy morning with a bit of east swell is the cleanest you’ll get. If you’re set on a surf, that’s the one. Don’t hold your breath for the rest.

Rusty.
