The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer for Jardim Atlantico over the next couple of weeks.
First thing you need to know: there’s a gap right at the start. The first few days of this forecast period are pretty much a write-off for us. From Friday the 17th through to Monday the 20th, the surf is just poor. It’s all cross-on, choppy, and the energy is weak to moderate. Not worth paddling out for.
The first real sniff of something decent comes on Tuesday the 21st. We’ve got early morning glass with the wind swinging to calm, and the swell is a clean 5ft from the east, with a period of 8 seconds. The combined energy is moderate (338). The water temp is about average for this time of year, so nothing to worry about there. It’s a beginner-friendly break, so this is your best window for a proper session. The crowds are possible here, so get in early.
Wednesday the 22nd morning is similar – glassy, 4ft east swell, moderate energy (223), and clean conditions. Another solid option for a quiet paddle, but the afternoon gets ordinary again.
Thursday the 23rd morning has a glassy 4ft, but it’s only surfable, not brilliant. The energy drops to 190. After that, the swell really starts to fade. From Friday the 24th through the end of the month, we’re looking at waist-high or smaller surf, mostly with poor conditions. There’s a brief moment on Saturday the 25th morning with a slight offshore wind from the west and a 3ft east swell, but it’s weak (98 energy). It’s clean, but tiny.
The standout window is actually the first week of August. On Saturday the 1st of August, we get a glassy morning, a 5ft swell from the southeast, short period at 7 seconds, but the energy jumps to 232, and the conditions are clean. That’s a good little pulse to finish the run.
So, overall, the best on offer is the Tuesday 21st and Wednesday 22nd mornings. Clean, glassy, waist-to-chest high east swell, and the crowds are manageable. After that, it’s a long, slow taper into small stuff. The long-range Saturday 1st August looks promising, but it’s a way off, so keep an eye on it.
Rusty out.

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.
