The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming up for Jardim Atlantico.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – the next week or so is pretty flat and gloomy for surf. We’ve got a long stretch of nothing special, with only small, weak waves and poor conditions most days. The first real chance to paddle out without feeling like you’re wasting your time won’t come until the morning of Saturday 8 August. That’s over a week away, so if you’re itching for a wave, you’ll have to be patient.
For the first few days, from Saturday 25 July right through to the end of July, we’re looking at tiny surf – mostly around 3 ft to 3 ft from the east, with a short period of 7 to 8 seconds. The combined energy is weak, reading between 31 and 73 (combined energy of all swells directed here). The mornings do offer some glassy windows, like Saturday 25 July morning with calm winds, but the swell is just too small to get excited about. Afternoons get blown out by east or southeast winds, making it messy. Water temp is sitting at 78°F with a small anomaly of 0.5°F, so pretty average for this time of year – nothing to write home about.
The first week of August doesn’t look much better. The swell does start to build a little from Sunday 2 August, with 4 ft to 4 ft east swell, but the period stays short at 7 to 8 seconds. The energy picks up a bit, hitting 137 to 208 (combined energy of all swells directed here), but the wind is often onshore or cross-onshore, making it choppy and unappealing. By Wednesday 5 August, the swell hits 6 ft from the east, but with onshore winds of 9 mph, it’s a messy wall of white water – not worth paddling out for.
Now, the standout window. The best of the whole forecast lands on the morning of Saturday 8 August and again on Sunday 9 August. We’ve got a clean 4 ft east swell, with a period creeping up to 8 seconds, and the wind is light and glassy from the west-northwest and east-southeast respectively. Combined energy is a moderate 234 (combined energy of all swells directed here). This is the kind of morning where you can get a few fun, clean waves without the crowds – though this spot does get crowded sometimes, so get there early. The break is exposed to the east, and the optimum swell direction is east-southeast, so this east swell is right in the sweet spot. It’s a beginner-friendly wave, so nothing too heavy, but it’ll be clean and rideable. The glassy conditions will make a big difference.
After those mornings, the afternoons get blown out again, so don’t sleep in. The long-range call for Saturday and Sunday 8-9 August is promising, but it’s far enough out that I’d keep an eye on the forecasts – things can shift.
Overall, it’s a lean couple of weeks with a real dry spell, but that Saturday and Sunday morning at the start of August are your real targets. Hang tight, and when that glassy morning arrives, you’ll be glad you waited.
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.
