The Lowdown
Right, grab a coffee, let’s see what we’ve got here in the Jardim Atlantico zone. The forecast is a bit of a mixed bag, but there are a couple of windows that will get the heart pumping.
The overall pattern is all about the morning glass. We’ve got a few days where the wind drops right out and the ocean turns to glass, and that’s where we’ll find the good stuff. The swell is mostly small, around 4 feet, coming from the east, with a period of 7 to 8 seconds. That’s a short period, which means it’s a bit disorganised but still fun for a log.
The standout for the entire forecast is the morning of Tuesday the 4th of August. Jardim Atlantico will be a dream. The swell is 4 feet from the east, but the wind is a full-on glass-off from the SSW at just 3 mph. The water is about average for the time of year, and the conditions are described as 'glassy'. That’s the kind of morning you get the boards out early and just savour the clean lines. For a beginner-friendly spot, this is perfect.
The other real highlight comes later in the week. On Thursday the 13th of August, the swell picks up properly. The morning has a 7 foot swell from the SE, with a moderate energy reading of 478. The wind is a light cross-shore from the south, so it’s a little bumpy, but the size is there. The afternoon sees that swell peak at 8 feet from the SE, with a strong energy reading of 682. This is getting into the territory where it’s for more experienced surfers, especially with the short period making it a bit crumbly. It’s not a clean, classic day, but the power is serious.
Then, the morning of Friday the 14th of August is another cracker. The swell has dropped to a solid 6 feet from the ESE, but once again, the wind is offshore from the WNW at just 3 mph. The conditions are 'glassy', and the energy is still strong at 314. This is a standout morning for a bigger, cleaner wave, but with the short period, it’s still a bit of a lumpy, fun wave rather than a long, peeling line.
There are a few other mornings worth a look, like the 5th and the 11th, with glassy conditions and waist-high swell, but they are fairly ordinary. The 15th and 16th see some decent size, but the wind is messy.
There’s a massive gap at the start here – the first proper surfable day is the 4th, with nothing really worth getting out of bed for on the 3rd. And from the 6th right through to the 10th, it’s a write-off: small, choppy, and onshore.
So, in short: the best bets are the Tuesday the 4th and Friday the 14th for clean, user-friendly conditions, and the Thursday the 13th for the biggest, most powerful swell of the period.

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.
