The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Let’s check out Jardim Atlantico for the next couple of weeks.
Right now, it’s pretty quiet. There’s a bit of a wait before we see anything worth paddling out for. The first decent chance rolls in on Monday morning, 31 August. The swell is only 3ft from the east, with a short period of 8 seconds, and the combined energy is moderate (116). But the real story is the wind—it’s glassy, dead calm. That’s a major positive, meaning clean, smooth conditions for a beginner-friendly spot like this. The water’s sitting at 78°, which is about normal for this time of year, so no drama there.
The rest of that first week is a write-off. The wind turns onshore or cross-shore, chopping everything up. Swell hangs around 3ft to 5ft, but the quality is poor. It’s a dry spell until the following Sunday morning, 6 September. That morning, the swell picks up to 5ft from the northeast, with a short period of 6 seconds, and the energy is moderate (268). The wind is cross-offshore, giving us clean, workable waves. This is the standout window for the whole forecast—clean conditions, punchy enough for a beginner to have fun, and the crowd is only sometimes a problem.
After that, it’s back to messy onshore slop for most of the second week. Swell sizes bounce around 4ft to 8ft, but the wind is almost always cross-on or onshore, making it choppy and ordinary. The only other glimmer is Monday morning, 14 September. The swell drops to 3ft from the east, period 8 seconds, energy moderate (212), but the wind goes glassy again. That’s a clean, small session for the patient ones.
So, bottom line: Monday 31 August morning is a glassy, small-wave option, but the real pick is Sunday 6 September morning—clean with a bit more push. The rest is mostly a waiting game. Keep an eye on the forecast, because it’s not often this spot stays flat for 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.
