The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer for Jardim Atlantico over the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, I gotta be honest with you – this stretch is looking pretty grim. For the first nine days, from the 26th of August all the way through to the 3rd of September, there’s not a single session worth getting wet for. It’s a long, dry patch of poor surf conditions and cross-onshore winds messing up the surface. The swell is hanging around in the 2ft to 5ft range mostly from the east, but the wind is just never your friend. You’ll see a bit of a spike in energy on the afternoon of the 1st of September – the combined energy hits 510 (moderate wave energy) – but with a 5ft swell and a moderate cross-onshore breeze, it’s just messy. That setup honestly looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
The one small glimmer comes on the morning of Monday, the 31st of August. The wind swings around to a light cross-offshore from the NNW at only 3 mph, and the water goes clean. The swell is 4ft from the east with an 8-second period, and the combined energy is 146 (moderate wave energy). It’s surfable, but the conditions are still just “very ordinary.” It’s a beginner-friendly spot, and it’s fairly consistent, but it’s not going to blow your mind. Crowds are possible here, so you might have some company. Water temperature is sitting at 78°, which is about average for this time of year.
After that, it’s right back into the same old story. From the 1st of September afternoon onward, it’s a relentless run of cross-onshore winds, choppy surfaces, and poor surf quality. The swell stays small, mostly under 3ft, and the energy drops off into weak territory by the 7th of September (72). The period jumps up to 10 seconds on the 8th of September afternoon, which is a longer period, but with the wind on it, you’re not going to get the clean lines you’d hope for.
Bottom line: there’s no standout session in this 16-day window. The best you’ll get is that Monday morning window on the 31st of August, but it’s still a far cry from good. For a spot that’s fairly consistent, this is a tough run. Forecasts can change, but right now, I’d be keeping the board in the car.
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.
