The Lowdown
Alright, let’s take a look at what’s coming up for Jardim Atlantico over the next couple of weeks.
To be honest, it’s a tough stretch. We’ve got a big gap of flat, poor conditions before we see anything worth talking about. There’s no surf worth mentioning until Thursday morning, August 20th.
That Thursday morning, the 20th, we get a tiny east swell at about 3ft, coming out of the E with a short period of 8 seconds. The wave energy is low, only 126 (weak). But here’s the thing: the wind is glassy – dead calm. That means the surface will be like a mirror. The waves themselves will be weak and ordinary, but the clean conditions are a major plus. It’s a good size for beginners, but crowds can pop up here sometimes.
Friday morning the 21st is a repeat, even smaller: 3ft from the east, period down to 7 seconds, energy still weak at 121. Again, glassy wind in the morning. It’ll look pretty, but don’t expect much power.
Then it gets grim. From Friday afternoon all the way through the rest of August, the wind turns onshore and the swell stays small and weak. Day after day of poor quality surf. Saturday, August 30th sees a bump in height to 6ft from the ENE, but the period stays short at 7 seconds, and the wind is cross-onshore. The wave energy hits 500 (moderate), but with that wind, it’s going to be choppy and messy. At 6ft, that’s too big for beginners and not clean enough for experts. Honestly, that setup looks like it’d be more fun for kite surfing than paddling.
The first few days of September don’t offer much hope either. Tuesday, September 1st morning has 4ft from the ENE with cross-shore wind – still poor. Thursday, September 3rd shows a little spike to 5ft from the NE, but the period is only 6 seconds and the wind is cross-shore. Still poor.
The one window to keep an eye on is Thursday morning, August 20th. The swell is small and weak, but that glassy wind makes it the cleanest surf of the entire forecast. If you’ve got a longboard and just want to glide, that’s your best bet.

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.
