The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming up for Jardim Atlantico.
Honestly, I’m looking at a pretty grim stretch ahead. The surf just isn’t cooperating. We’ve got a long gap of poor conditions right through the end of August and into the first week of September. The wind is almost always a problem, coming from the east and northeast, keeping things choppy and messy. The swell is small and weak, with combined wave energy staying low, often under 200 (61). The water is a warm 78° right now, which is about average for the time of year.
The first real glimmer of hope doesn’t show up until Thursday, September 3rd, when we get a "marginal" call. But even then, it’s not great. The real standout, the only thing that’s got me a little excited, is the morning of Friday, September 4th. The wind goes completely glassy, dead calm, off the SSW. That’s a major positive. The swell is 4ft from the ESE at 8 seconds, with combined energy of 165 – still modest, but for this stretch, it’s the best we’ll see. The waves will be clean and smooth, making this the clear pick of the bunch. But don’t expect barrels; it’s just a small, clean wave for a longboard or a funboard.
After that, it’s back to the same old story. The wind picks up again, and the swell gets a little bigger – up to 6ft on the morning of Sunday, September 6th – but the period is short (7 seconds) and the wind is onshore, so it’ll be a washing machine. A couple of days in the second week, like the morning of Wednesday, September 9th, show a 5ft swell and a "marginal" call, but again, the wind is cross-shore, not clean. It’s frustrating.
Overall, if you’re desperate for a paddle, set your alarm for that Friday morning, September 4th, for the glassy conditions. Otherwise, this is a long stretch of poor surf, over a week of it, and it’s pretty normal for the area to have these blank runs. The setup is more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing on most of these days.
Rusty.

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.
