The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s see what’s cookin’ for Jardim Atlantico over the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, it’s a pretty flat and choppy run for most of the outlook. The water is sitting at 78°, which is about normal for this time of year, so no surprises there. The first real chance to get wet doesn’t show up until Tuesday morning, the 1st of September. Even then, it’s marginal. A 5ft swell from the east with a period of 8 seconds is coming in, but the combined energy is moderate (623). The wind is a gentle cross-shore from the north-northeast, so it’ll be a bit lumpy. It’s a beginner-friendly break, so this might be a session for the groms or longboarders to get some practice, but don’t expect any gems.
The rest of the first week and into the second is a tough slog. Lots of cross-onshore winds, short period slop, and combined energy values mostly in the low hundreds. Thursday morning, the 3rd of September, has a brief moment with a clean cross-offshore breeze from the south, but the swell is a weak 5ft from the east-northeast, with only 318 energy units. It’s marginal at best.
The most promising blip comes on the 11th of September, a Friday morning. Swell picks up to 5ft from the east-northeast, with a period of 7 seconds and combined energy of 379. The wind is a light cross-onshore from the northeast, so it’s small and rippled, but probably the best of a bad bunch. Friday afternoon holds similar size at 5ft, but the wind picks up and makes it choppy.
After that, it’s back to small, messy conditions through to the 13th of September. No real standouts, no clean, groomed lines. The 12th of September Saturday morning has a light cross-shore breeze and a 4ft east swell, but it’s only marginal.
Bottom line: This is a lean stretch. If you’re desperate, the Tuesday morning on the 1st of September and the Friday morning on the 11th of September are your best bets, but keep your expectations on the ground. This break tends to be fairly consistent, so a run like this is a bit of a bummer, but it won’t last forever. For now, it’s more of a kite-surfing setup during the windier, choppier afternoons than a paddler’s paradise.
Stay salty,
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.
