The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s in the water for the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, I’ve gotta be straight with you – it’s a slow start. We’re looking at a long stretch of nothing worth paddling for. The first real look doesn’t come until Sunday, August 2nd, and even that’s a maybe. From Tuesday, July 28th through Saturday, August 1st, it’s all tiny, weak swell and messy wind. The combined energy barely gets into the hundreds – it’s a proper flat spell. So, kick back, and don’t rush to wax your board.
The first sign of life comes on Sunday, August 2nd at Jardim Atlantico. The morning shows a 4-foot easterly swell, with the energy reading 268 (moderate). The wind is light and cross-shore, so it’ll be a little bumpy but rideable. It’s a beginner-friendly spot and fairly consistent, but it can get a crowd sometimes. The afternoon turns onshore and messy, so the morning window is your only chance. Still, it’s a marginal call – nothing to get hyped about.
Monday, August 3rd brings a little more size. The morning swell is 5 feet from the east, with energy jumping to 457 (strong). The period is a short 8 seconds, so it’ll be a bit disorganized, but the wind is light and cross-onshore. The water temperature is a warm 78°, which is about normal for this time of year. This is still a marginal session, but if you’re a beginner, it’s as good as it gets for the first week.
Tuesday, August 4th is similar – 4 feet of east swell, 237 energy, light cross-shore wind. Again, marginal. The pattern of small, short-period east swell and light winds hangs around for the rest of the week, but the quality stays poor. It’s one of those frustrating runs where the swell is there, but the waves just aren’t clean.
Now, here’s where it gets interesting. Monday, August 10th is the real standout. We’ve got a 6-foot easterly swell in the morning, with strong energy at 461. The wind is nearly glassy out of the ENE at just 3 mph – that’s a light cross-on, but it’ll be clean. The period is still short at 7 seconds, so it won’t have the most power, but the size and the calm wind will make for some fun, punchy waves. This is the best on offer in the whole forecast. The afternoon stays big at 6 feet, but the wind picks up a bit.
Tuesday, August 11th holds solid with 5 feet of east swell, the period stretching to 9 seconds, and the energy is strong at 396 and 407. The wind is light and offshore (from the east) in the morning, which is a dream. This is another top pick – clean, offshore conditions with a decent-sized, longer-period swell. The water is still warm, and the break is consistent. A 9-second period is a nice step up in quality.
Wednesday, August 12th keeps the 5-foot east swell going, with the energy peaking at 474. The period is 9 seconds again. The wind is cross-onshore, so it won’t be as clean as Tuesday, but the size and energy are there. For the second week, this is a solid run of swell.
So, to wrap it up: the first week is a washout. The second week, from Monday, August 10th through Wednesday, August 12th, is where the real action is. Monday morning, August 10th is the standout for cleaner conditions, while Tuesday morning, August 11th is the pick for the best wind and swell combo. If you can wait it out, it’ll be well worth it.
Rusty.

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.
