The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Look, I’ll be straight with you – the next couple of weeks are a mixed bag for Jardim Atlantico. There’s some rideable swell, but you’ll have to pick your windows carefully. The water’s sitting at 79°, which is about a degree and a half warmer than usual for this time of year, so it’s a touch on the balmy side.
We start off with a bit of a frustrating gap. From the 1st of August through the morning of the 2nd, it’s pretty poor – small, weak swell and dodgy winds. The first real chance to get wet comes on Sunday afternoon, the 2nd. We’ve got a 4ft easterly swell rolling in, but it’s onshore wind and the energy is moderate (212). It’s a marginal call, but if you’re desperate, you might scratch into a few.
The standout window is Monday morning, the 3rd of August. The wind goes glassy, absolute magic. Swell is 4ft from the east, period of 7 seconds, and the combined energy is moderate (240). It’s a proper fun-sized wave for beginners, and with glassy conditions, it’ll be clean. The downside? It’s fairly consistent, and crowds are possible here, so get in early.
Tuesday morning the 4th is okay, but the cross-on wind makes it a bit bumpy. Wednesday morning the 5th is another glassy winner – 4ft easterly swell, moderate energy (213), and offshore from the west. That’s clean and punchy for a beginner-friendly bank. Thursday morning the 6th also has glassy conditions with 3ft easterly swell, but the energy is still moderate (219).
After that, from Thursday afternoon the 6th right through to the 11th of August, it’s a long, dry stretch of poor surf – small, weak, and cross-on winds. Not worth paddling out.
Tuesday morning the 11th offers a small reprieve: glassy, 3ft east swell, but the energy is weak (168). It’s surfable, but just ordinary. Wednesday morning the 12th is glassy again with a 3ft easterly swell and moderate energy (118), but again, it’s not lighting up the ocean.
The next real spike comes on the 15th of August. Saturday morning brings a 4ft south-east swell, period 7 seconds, with cross-shore wind and strong energy (313). It’s a marginal call, but there’s push in the water. If you’re a beginner, that 4ft is getting toward the top of your comfort zone.
The biggest swell of the outlook hits Sunday morning the 16th of August. We’re looking at 7ft from the south-east, period 7 seconds, and very strong energy (657). That’s a solid, powerful wave – only for experienced surfers. The wind is cross-on, so it’ll be a bit lumpy, but if you’ve got the skills, there’ll be some grunty lines. This one is a full week away, so keep an eye on the forecasts, but it’s promising.
Overall, the best bet is Monday morning the 3rd of August – glassy, clean, and fun. If you’re after power, the 16th of August is the one for the experts.
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.
