The Lowdown
Alright, let’s take a look at what Jardim Atlantico’s got cooking for the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, the first week is a real bummer. The wind is all wrong, mostly onshore and cross-onshore, just messing up any chance of a clean wave. You’re looking at a solid week of poor conditions. The first real chance to get a surf in is Friday morning, September 4th. There’s a glassy 4ft east swell with a 9-second period, and the combined energy is moderate (201). The water is a warm 78°, which is about average for this time of year. That’s it, a tiny window before the wind turns nasty for the rest of the weekend and into the next week.
Honestly, after that, it’s a struggle for a full week. The wind is just rubbish, turning the surf into a choppy mess. There’s a tiny pulse on the Sunday morning of the 6th, but it’s cross-shore and only 3ft, so not worth the hassle. There’s a long gap of over a week with nothing good.
The real standout, the one you need to circle on the calendar, is Thursday morning, September 17th. This is a week and a half out, so it’s a long-range call, but it’s looking sweet. We’ve got a solid 5ft east swell, same 9-second period, but the combined energy is strong (479). The best part? The wind is going to be glassy, dead calm. For a beginner-friendly spot like this, that’s the dream. The waves should be clean and fun. Just keep in mind that 5ft is a bit much for a total beginner, but it’s perfect for anyone who’s got the basics down.
The early morning of Friday, September 18th also has a moment. A 4ft east swell with a light cross-offshore wind from the NNW. That’s a clean look, but it’s a smaller wave than the Thursday morning, so the Thursday is definitely the one to aim for.
So to wrap it up: don’t bother for the first week. The best wave of the whole period is that Thursday morning, September 17th. Get it while it’s glassy. The rest of the time, it’s mostly onshore chop.

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.
