The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Looking at this next stretch, it’s going to be a lean couple of weeks for us. The surf is small and the winds are mostly going to be onshore or cross-onshore, which will keep things messy.
The first proper chance of a surf doesn’t come until the morning of the 24th of September. Before that, from now through the 23rd, it's mostly a write-off. We’re looking at waves around 3-4 ft, but with short-period wind swell (mostly 6-8 seconds) and winds out of the east or northeast, it’s going to be bumpy and poor. The energy is weak to moderate, with values mostly in the 100-280 range, so there's just no punch. The morning of the 13th of September has a tiny chance of something rideable, but it’s marginal at best, so don’t get your hopes up.
The one bright spot is the morning of the 24th. We’ll see a brief window of glassy conditions with light winds, and the swell bumps up to 4 ft with a longer period of 10 seconds. The energy reading jumps to 519, a big step up from the weak stuff prior, which signals a stronger pulse of groundswell. This will be the standout. It's still small, so perfect for a longboard. The winds look clean and calm. The swell direction is from the E, which is just off the ideal ESE direction, but it should still have some push.
For Jardim Atlantico, the water is at 79°, which is about 2° warmer than usual for this time of year—a touch warmer than normal. That’s a nice bonus.
After that morning, the winds swing back onshore in the afternoon and the window closes. The following days (25th) drop back down with weaker energy and more cross-shore winds, so that’s your best bet.
So, to sum it up: mostly groveling and bumpy surf, but there’s a small, clean window on the morning of the 24th. I'd be marking that one on the calendar.
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.
