The Lowdown

Alright, let’s get into it.

To be straight with you, the next couple of weeks are looking pretty lackluster around here. We’ve got a lot of small, weak, and mostly messy surf on the menu. There’s no real stand-out swell on the horizon, so you’re gonna have to pick your moments if you’re desperate for a paddle.

We kick things off at Jardim Atlantico (Madeira) with a few days of nothing worth your time. Saturday the 8th and Sunday the 9th are both poor, with cross-shore and cross-onshore breezes chopping up the ankle-to-waist high lines. The energy is weak, and it’s just not happening.

The first real chance to get wet comes Monday morning, the 10th. It’s still small, only about 2ft of east swell, but the wind drops to nothing and it turns glassy. For a spot like this, that’s a big deal. It’s a surfer-friendly wave for beginners, so if you’re just looking for a clean, easy session, this is your window. The water temp is sitting around 78°, which is pretty much spot on for this time of year.

After that, we go into a bit of a dry spell. The middle of the week gets a little more energy, but it’s all short-period, weak windswell in the 3ft range, and the winds are all over the place. It’s poor, choppy, and not worth the hassle.

There’s another brief moment of hope on Friday the 14th, with another glassy morning. Again, it’s tiny, only around 3ft, but clean. The sort of session you take if you just need to get your feet wet.

The weekend of the 16th and 17th sees the swell drop right off, down to 2ft to 2ft. The periods stretch out a bit, but it’s too small and the winds are onshore again. Not worth your time.

Looking further out, there is a slight bump in size around the 18th and 19th, with the swell pushing back up to 4ft. This is probably the biggest we’re going to see, but the conditions are still poor. The winds are cross-onshore or straight onshore, and the period is short. It’s going to be lumpy and uninviting.

The runs out to the end of the window on the 23rd stay in that same pattern. Small, weak, and mostly messy. There’s another glassy morning on Saturday the 22nd, but the swell is only around 3ft and the period is short, so it’s not going to have any power.

So, to be honest, the pick of the bunch is that Monday the 10th morning. It’s not going to be epic, but it’s the cleanest, most user-friendly surf we’re going to get. The other brief windows are the glassy mornings on the 14th and 22nd, but they’re even smaller. It’s a frustrating stretch, but that’s the way it goes sometimes. Keep an eye on it, things can change.

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.
