The Lowdown
Hey, it's Rusty again, with the imperial version. Jardim Atlantico is looking pretty flat and sloppy for the first week. Nothing worth your time on Thursday the 16th or Friday the 17th – cross-onshore wind, chop, and the swell is a messy 3‑4ft with weak energy. Even the weekend is a no-go.
But mark your calendar for Tuesday the 21st morning. Winds go glassy, and we get a clean 4ft easterly swell with an 8-second period. Water temp is about 79°F – average for July. That's your window for a fun, clean session on a beginner-friendly wave. Crowds can show up, but it's worth it.
After that it's mostly ordinary again until Thursday the 30th morning – two weeks out, so treat it as promising but not locked in. Early that day the wind is cross-offshore, the swell picks up to 5ft from the northeast with a short 6-second period, and the energy hits 367. It'll be clean but the short period makes it a bit tricky – better for stronger surfers.
The rest of the forecast is filled with marginal or poor conditions. That's a long dry spell, but it's not unusual around here. Keep an eye on the charts – things can change.
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.
