The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, let's have a look at what's coming down the pipeline for the next couple of weeks.
First up, we're looking at Jardim Atlantico. The water temp feels about average for this time of year, nothing wild there. To be honest, the outlook for the next 16 days is pretty bleak. We've got a long, slow start with nothing worth paddling out for. The first sign of anything surfable doesn't show up until Sunday morning, August 2nd, and even then it's a struggle.
The swell is tiny and weak, coming from the east at around 3ft with a short period of 7 seconds, and the combined energy is barely there (110). It’s a beginner-friendly size, but the conditions are only just surfable and described as very ordinary. The highlight is that the wind goes totally glassy that morning, which is about the only thing going for it. After that, the wind turns onshore and the quality drops straight back to poor.
We get a few more mornings over the next week and a half that are glassy or with light winds, but the swell is still small and weak. For instance, on Wednesday, August 5th, we've got glassy conditions again and a 4ft easterly swell, but the energy is still low (166) and the waves are just very ordinary. The same story on Friday, August 7th, with a drop to 3ft and energy down to 78. It's frustrating.
There’s a bit of a spike in the energy mid-week around Tuesday, August 4th, with 4ft E swell and energy hitting 257, but the wind is cross-onshore and it’s only rated as marginal. It's not the kind of day that gets you excited.
The only real standout comes right at the tail end of the period. On Thursday morning, August 14th, we see a pulse of 6ft swell from the SE, and the combined energy jumps to 325, which is the biggest push of the whole forecast. It’s still got a short period (7 seconds), but the wind is light cross-shore, making it the best-looking option in a very quiet run. For an experienced surfer, that's the one window to watch, but it's over a week away, so don't hold your breath. The rest of the time, honestly, it's more likely to be a good stretch for a kite if the wind picks up than for a paddle.
Signing off,
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.
