The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s cast an eye over the next 16 days for Jardim Atlantico. Honestly, it’s a pretty grim stretch overall. The surf is small, the wind is mostly coming from the wrong direction, and the periods are short, giving us weak, crumbly waves. The swell energy is mostly in the low to moderate range, with values like 91 and 151, barely enough to get excited about. The water temperature is sitting at 78.6°, which is about normal for this time of year, so at least you won’t freeze waiting for a set.
Thursday the 16th and Friday the 17th are a write-off. We’ve got a messy cross-onshore breeze from the SE and the swell is a pathetic 3.0ft to 4.6ft with a period of just 6 to 7 seconds. That’s nothing but bumpy, gutless slop. Not worth paddling out for.
The weekend doesn’t get any better. Saturday the 18th has a bit more push, with swell hitting 5.2ft, but it’s still cross-onshore and the period is only 8 seconds. The energy climbs to 316, but it’s a choppy, blown-out mess. Sunday the 19th sees the swell peak at 6.6ft, and the energy jumps to 879, which is pretty strong, but the wind is still cross-on. It’s a bit too big for beginners and the conditions are marginal at best.
Now, here’s the one sliver of hope. Monday morning, the 20th. The wind goes glassy, dead calm, with a swell of 4.3ft from the ESE at 8 seconds. The energy is a modest 224, but that glassy surface is a massive positive. It’ll be clean, smooth, and the most inviting it’s going to get. The sets will be short and a bit weak, but if you’re desperate for a slide, this is your window. After that, it’s back to the doldrums. Tuesday the 21st has light cross-shore winds, but the swell is the same tiny 4.3ft with a score of 1. The rest of the week is a mix of glassy mornings and cross-on afternoons, with swell dropping below 3.3ft.
The second week is a total snooze. From the 24th onwards, we’re looking at 2.0ft to 3.6ft junk with periods of 5 to 8 seconds. The energy is pathetic, barely cracking 100 most days. There’s a glassy morning on the 25th with a tiny 3.0ft swell, but it’s just too small to do anything with. The wind stays cross or cross-on for the rest of the run. Honestly, the best thing to do is keep the board in the car and wait for a better forecast.

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.

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.
