The Lowdown
Alright, mates, Rusty here. Let’s talk about Jardim Atlantico for the next couple weeks. Got to be honest, it’s a pretty grim outlook for a while.
From now, starting Thursday the 27th of August, all the way through to around Wednesday the 9th of September, it’s mostly no-go. We’ve got a long stretch of poor surf with cross-onshore winds making everything choppy and ugly. Swell energy is low, mostly under 200, so there's just no power in the water.
Water temp is a warm 78°F, which is average for this time of year.
The one light at the end of the tunnel is the morning of Thursday, September 10th. That morning the wind goes completely glassy, just a 3 mph breeze from the South. It’ll be clean and smooth. Swell is a small 2ft from the ESE, but with a super long 16-second period. That’s proper groundswell energy, with a combined reading of 381. For a beginner-friendly spot like this, that long period will wrap in and give some nice little shaped waves. The water is about 1°F warmer than normal, so it’s a touch balmy.
The rest of the period is a tough watch. There’s a few days around the 4th and 5th of September where the swell bumps up to 5ft from the ESE, but the wind is messy and it’s only marginal. If you’re a kite surfer, the windy, choppy days might be more your thing, especially on the 1st of September with a 6ft swell and big energy. But for a paddle surfer, this is a waiting game.
Just aim for that Thursday morning glass-off. It’s the only real highlight.
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.
Jardim Atlantico is 9 km (6 miles) from the city of Ilheus. If you plan a holiday in Bahia - Sul, look for hotels and other accommodation in Ilheus. Ilheus has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
