The Lowdown
Righteo, Rusty here. Let's have a good look at what's on the menu for Jardim Atlantico over the next couple of weeks.
First up, let's be straight with you: this isn't a run of solid, clean surf. We've got a long stretch of small, choppy, and generally wind-affected conditions to wade through. The first standout doesn't show up until a fair way down the track, so we've got a bit of a wait. The water is sitting at 78°, which is about average for this time of year – nothing unusual there.
Looking through the whole period, the real pick is a small window on the morning of Monday the 19th of August. We get a bit of a south-east pulse coming through, pushing up to about 5ft. The swell energy (411) is the highest we see by a long shot, but it's a bit of a mixed bag. The direction is SE, which is a touch off the optimum ESE, and it's coming from the east on the wind, creating onshore conditions. It's a powerful little spike, but it's going to be messy. That one's really for the keen and experienced crew who don't mind a bit of a slosh. Before that, the pickings are slim.
We've got a couple of mornings that are worth a look if you're desperate for a paddle. The morning of Monday the 12th of August is glassy with tiny waves about 2ft from the east – small, clean, but very ordinary. Then again, on the morning of Sunday the 18th of August, we get glassy conditions again with 2ft, this time from the east with a 12-second period (159 energy). That longer period will put a bit of shape into those small waves, but it's still a knee-high affair. Good for a log, maybe. The morning of Friday the 23rd of August also shows a clean picture with a 4ft east-nor-east swell (179 energy), and light cross-offshore winds – that's another decent, cleaner option for the bigger boards.
A lot of the afternoons are written off with onshore or cross-onshore breezes chopping things up. For the most part, the combined swell energy is well under 200, meaning the ocean's got not much punch in it.
So, if you're looking for the best of a mediocre bunch, lock in the morning of the 23rd of August for a longboard session, or the morning of the 18th of August for some clean, small waves. The Monday 19th of August spike is the most powerful but the roughest.
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.
