The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what the next couple of weeks have in store for us at Jardim Atlantico. I’ll be straight with ya – it’s a tough run ahead. The water is running warm at about 79°, which is pretty much what you’d expect for this time of year, so no surprises there.

The pattern shaping up is a long stretch of mostly small, choppy, and messy conditions. We’ve got a lot of cross-onshore wind and short-period windswell making things lumpy. There’s no real standout period here, but a couple of moments might give you a little hope if you’re desperate for a paddle.

Let’s run through it. The first few days from Wednesday the 12th through to Saturday the 15th are basically a write-off. Swell hangs around 3 ft to 5 ft but it’s mostly coming from the ESE with a short period of 7 to 8 seconds. The wind is consistently cross-on or onshore, making everything choppy. Combined wave energy only gets up to 359 (moderate) at best, but the quality is just poor. Not worth suiting up.

Sunday the 16th morning looks a bit cleaner with an onshore wind from the East and a longer period of 12 seconds, but the swell is only 3 ft. The energy is moderate at 213, but the forecast still calls it marginal. It’s a maybe if you’re really keen, but don’t expect much.

The 18th of August, Tuesday, sees a bump in swell to 5 ft from the SE, but the period is short at 8 seconds and the wind is cross-onshore again. The energy jumps to 411 (moderate), but it’s just messy. That kind of setup with a beach break is more interesting for the kite crew than for paddle surfing.

Now, the one tiny glimmer in this whole outlook is the morning of Wednesday the 19th. The wind goes glassy, coming from the SSE at just 3 mph. The swell is 3 ft from the East with an 8-second period, and the combined energy is 123 (weak). The waves are surfable but very ordinary. Still, glassy conditions at Jardim Atlantico can make even a small wave feel fun. Crowds are sometimes an issue here, so if you’re out early, you might have it mostly to yourself.

After that, we’re back into a long stretch of poor to ordinary conditions right through to the end of the 16-day window. Swell stays small, mostly under 3 ft, with short periods and onshore or cross-onshore winds. There’s a brief moment on the morning of Friday the 21st with a light cross-offshore wind from the NNW and clean conditions, but the swell is only 2 ft with 66 energy (weak). It’s a long paddling session for not much reward.

To be honest, the only morning that stands out even a little is Wednesday the 19th. If you can get out then, with the glassy conditions, you might snag a few clean little ones. The rest of the period is a real grind. Keep your eyes on the forecast, because it tends not to stay this poor for too long.

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.
