The Lowdown
Grab your coffee and listen up. Rusty here.
We’ve got a bit of a flat spell to start, so don’t get your hopes up for the next few days. The good news is, there’s a pulse of energy building for the end of the month, but we’ve got to be patient.
The first real chance to paddle out at Jardim Atlantico is on Wednesday, August 19th. Morning looks like the pick, with an ESE swell around 6ft and a period of 8 seconds. The combined energy is a solid moderate 590, so there’s some push behind it. The wind is light out of the ESE, which is cross-on, but it’s very light, so conditions should be clean enough for a beginner session. It’s a fairly consistent break, but don't expect perfection. The water temp is sitting at a normal 78° for this time of year.
Thursday morning, August 20th, offers a small window of glassy conditions. The swell drops to 4ft from the E, with weak energy (149), so it’s not going to be a standout, but if you’re desperate, it’ll be clean.
The real standout in this whole outlook is Saturday morning, August 30th. We’re looking at a bump in swell to 6ft from the ENE, with a period of 7 seconds and strong energy registering at 418. It’s still a short period, so it won’t be perfect, but it’s the biggest, most consistent push in the entire 16-day window. The wind is light from the north, which is cross-shore, so it should be workable. This one is for the experienced crew only though – 6ft can be a handful for beginners at this spot.
There’s a long dry stretch before that Saturday, with a lot of days of poor surf and onshore winds. After that, the surf stays small and messy right through to the end of the first week of September. The wave energy just isn’t there.
So, for the best bet, pencil in the morning of Saturday, August 30th. It’s not a perfect forecast, but it’s the only window that has any real power and a chance at clean-ish conditions. Everything else is either flat, chopped up, or too small to bother with.
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.
