The Lowdown
Alright, surfers, Rusty here. Let’s cut through the noise and look at what’s on offer for Jardim Atlantico over the next couple of weeks.
We’re in for a bit of a quiet stretch overall. The first real surfable window doesn’t open up until Tuesday, the 4th of August. Before that, Monday is a write-off – small, weak, and cross-on wind. You’d be wasting your time.
The standout moment in this whole forecast is definitely Tuesday morning, August 4th. The water is a warm 79°, which is about a degree and a half above average for this time of year, so it’s feeling nice and tropical. We’ve got a clean 4ft swell rolling in from the east, with a period of 8 seconds. The wind is glassy – dead calm – so the surface will be like a mirror. The combined energy is moderate (221). It’s a beginner-friendly wave at Jardim Atlantico, and with that glass, it’s a perfect time for a long session. Just be aware this spot is fairly consistent, so you might have a few others out there.
Wednesday morning, August 5th, is another very similar window. Swell is a touch smaller at 4ft, still from the east, and the wind is glassy again. The energy is moderate (232). It’s a solid repeat of Tuesday, but the first day is the best of the pair.
After that, the winds start to turn onshore and the quality drops. We get a long stretch of poor conditions from Thursday, August 6th, all the way through to the end of the second week. The swell stays small, mostly around 3ft to 3ft, and the wind is constantly cross-onshore or offshore, ruining the surface. There’s a little spike in size on Thursday, August 13th, with 6ft to 6ft from the ESE, but the wind is a howling 16 mph cross-shore, creating a choppy mess. The energy is strong (419) but the quality is poor – that’s a kite-surfing setup, not a paddlers’ paradise.
So, to sum it up: you’ve got two clear, clean mornings on the 4th and 5th. That’s your window. The rest of the 16 days is a long, frustrating gap of poor conditions. Don’t sleep on those Tuesday and Wednesday mornings.
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.
Jardim Atlantico is 9 km (6 miles) from the city of Ilheus. If you plan a holiday in Bahia - Sul, look for hotels and other accommodation in Ilheus. Ilheus has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
