The Lowdown
Alright, let’s break down Jardim Atlantico for the next couple weeks. Pretty flat start, to be honest. Water temp is about what you’d expect for this time of year.
From Wednesday the 15th right through to nearly the end of the month, it’s a lot of so-so conditions. The wind is mostly cross or cross-onshore, messing up the surface. Swell is hanging around 1.0m to 1.5m from the east or southeast, but the period is short (6 to 8 seconds), so it’s weak and choppy. The combined energy is mostly in the 100s to low 200s (moderate), but the quality is poor. You get a few mornings with light or glassy wind, like Thursday the 23rd morning with a glassy 1.0m from the east, and Sunday the 26th morning with a glassy 1.0m, but it’s just barely surfable, not much to get excited about.
The one day that stands out is Thursday the 30th of July morning. That’s the real deal. The swell jumps to 2.1m from the southeast, with a combined energy of 659 (strong wave energy). The wind is light and cross-off from the southwest, so it’s going to be clean and lined up. That’s a solid, powerful groundswell with the right direction. It’s a bit big for beginners, but for anyone who knows what they’re doing, it’s the best session of the whole outlook. The rest of the 16 days is mostly waiting for that one.
So, you’re looking at a long dry spell, then a cracker on the 30th.

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.
