The Lowdown
Alright, grab a coffee and settle in, because this is a long-range look at Jardim Atlantico, and honestly, it’s a bit of a tough one for the next 16 days.
Honestly, I’m looking at the whole 16-day window here, and I’ve got to be straight with you – there’s no standout, red-letter day in this forecast. The pattern is pretty much the same from now until the end of the month: small, chopped-up, and mostly cross-shore or cross-onshore winds. It’s a real grind.
Let’s start with Tuesday, July 14th. We’ve got a tiny 1ft SE swell rolling in with a short 10-second period. The combined energy is weak at 48, and the wind is a cross-shore from the south at 9 mph. It’s going to be a bit bumpy and pretty poor. Water temp is sitting at 79°, which is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
Wednesday, July 15th, the swell bumps up to 4ft from the SE, but the period drops to a poor 7 seconds. The wind stays cross-shore from the SSE at 12 mph, and the energy is still moderate at 200. The wave comment says it all: poor surf conditions. Same story for the afternoon.
Thursday, July 16th, we get a slight improvement in the morning. The swell is 4ft from the SE, still a short 6-second period, but the wind drops to a light 6 mph cross-shore. The energy is moderate at 243. It’s a marginal call – the tide might mess with it, but it’s the best looking morning in the first week. The afternoon turns ugly with a 3ft SSE swell and a cross-onshore wind.
Friday, July 17th, is a write-off. The swell jumps to 6ft from the SE, but it’s a short 7-second period and the wind is a cross-onshore from the ESE. The energy is moderate at 493. That’s a messy, choppy combo that’s better for the kite surfers than us paddle guys.
We then hit a long, dry stretch. From Saturday, July 18th, all the way through to Sunday, July 26th, every single session is rated as “poor surf conditions” or “marginal.” The swell hangs around 3ft to 5ft, but the period is constantly short (6-8 seconds) and the wind is almost always onshore or cross-onshore. It’s a real bummer.
There are a couple of mornings that catch my eye, but only because they are glassy. On Wednesday, July 22nd, the morning is glassy with a 4ft E swell. The energy is low at 152. It’s surfable, but with a short 8-second period, it’s going to be very ordinary. Same story on Thursday, July 23rd, with a glassy SSW wind and a 4ft E swell. These are the best we’ve got, but they are not good.
The last glimmer of hope is on Wednesday, July 29th, where we get another glassy morning with a 3ft E swell. The energy is weak at 119. Again, surfable but ordinary.
So, to wrap it up, the whole 16 days are a blank run with no true standouts. The swell is small, the period is short, and the wind is nearly always messy. A few glassy mornings offer a chance to get wet, but the waves will be weak and unexciting. For a beginner, the small swell is safe, but the chop will make it a frustrating session. For the rest of us, it’s a week to check the forecast again and hope things change. Forecasts can change, but right now, it’s a lean patch.

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.

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.
