The Lowdown

G'day, I'm Rusty. Let's have a look at what's comin' for Jardim Atlantico over the next couple of weeks. Gotta be straight with ya – this stretch is gonna be a real test of patience. The water temp's sittin' at a warm 79°, which is about a degree and a half above the usual for this time of year, so it's a touch warmer than normal, but that's where the good news starts and kinda ends for a while.

We kick things off on Monday, the 31st of August. The morning's actually not terrible. There's a 3ft easterly swell rollin' in with an 8-second period. Combined wave energy is moderate (116). The wind's glassy, glassy, with a slight NNE breeze at 3 mph. It's clean and surfable, but the conditions are very ordinary – small and weak. The afternoon stuffs it up though; wind swings ENE and picks up to 9 mph, goin' cross-onshore and turnin' it into a choppy mess with the swell bumpin' to 4ft. Not worth paddlin' out.

Tuesday and Wednesday, the 1st and 2nd of September, are a write-off. Swells push up to 5ft and even 6ft on Wednesday morning, but it's all cross-onshore or cross-shore wind. On Wednesday morning, there's a pulse of energy with a combined energy reading of 736, which is strong, but the wind is a cross-shore 12 mph from the north, makin' it a crumbly, choppy mess. That kind of energy with that wind is more interestin' for kite surfers than paddle surfers, to be honest. The rest of the period is poor.

Thursday the 3rd and Friday the 4th are a mixed bag. Thursday morning's got a 5ft easterly swell with cross-shore S wind at 9 mph – marginal at best, with a risk of thunderstorms. But Friday morning, the 4th of September, is the one true standout here. It's not big, but for Jardim Atlantico, this is about as good as it gets in this forecast. The swell drops to 4ft from the east with a 9-second period, and the wind goes glassy with a 3 mph ESE breeze. It's glassy, clean, and the guidance says expect good surf conditions. The combined energy is moderate (208). It's a beginner-friendly spot, consistent, and with the offshore ESE wind, it should be a fun little session. Crowds are possible here, so get in early.

After that, it's a long, painful gap. From Friday afternoon the 4th right through to Tuesday the 15th of September, every single session is rated as poor surf conditions. The swell bounces around from 2ft to 4ft, but the wind is always onshore, cross-onshore, or cross-shore, and often from the NE, which is the worst direction for this break. The period drops to a short 6 seconds on the 6th and 7th, and the wave energy gets weak, fallin' below 100 in some cases. There's a brief flicker on the 10th with an easterly swell and a 10-second period, but it's onshore at 12 mph, so it's a choppy, rainy mess. The 15th of September sees a 2ft swell with a very long 13-second period from the ESE, and while the wind is light cross-onshore, it's still poor.

Bottom line: there's one real shot, and that's Friday morning, the 4th of September. After that, the desert sets in for over a week. Stick to that morning window and hope for the best. For a spot that's fairly consistent, this is a lean run, but forecasts can change.

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.
