The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for Jardim Atlantico over the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you: the first week is a bit of a grind. We’re looking at a lot of onshore and cross-onshore wind from the SE and ESE, keeping things choppy and messy. The swell is hanging around 4ft to 6ft from the E, with a short period of 6 to 8 seconds, so it’s bumpy, weak, and not really offering much shape. The wave energy is moderate at best, hitting around 151 (moderate energy) on the 16th and climbing to 530 (moderate energy) on the 19th, but the wind is just ruining it. The water temp is sitting at 79°F with a tiny anomaly of 1°F, so it’s about average for this time of year – nothing special there.
There is a light at the end of the tunnel. The standout window comes on Tuesday the 21st and Wednesday the 22nd. On Tuesday morning, we get a glassy, calm session with the wind swinging to the W at 0 mph. The swell is 5ft from the E with an 8-second period, and the energy is 252 (moderate). It’s not huge, but with glassy conditions, that’s going to be your cleanest, most user-friendly surf of the whole run. The break is a beginner-friendly spot, so that’s a solid call for a morning paddle. Wednesday morning is similar, with glassy conditions again, 4ft from the E, and 217 (moderate) energy. Those two mornings are the best bets.
After that, from the 24th onward, the swell drops off significantly, down to 3ft to 3ft, and the wind stays messy or light. The 26th has a brief moment of clean cross-off wind, but the swell is tiny at 3ft. There’s a long period groundswell of 15 seconds on the 26th afternoon, but it’s only 1ft and cross-on, so it’s a tease. The 31st sees a similar long-period spike (17s) but again, tiny and messy.
So, the honest truth: there’s a big gap of poor-to-marginal surf for most of the run. The only real highlight is those two mornings on the 21st and 22nd. For a beginner-friendly, clean, small wave session, that’s your window. If you’re looking for grunt or power, you’re out of luck this time around.
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.
