The Lowdown
Alright, folks, let’s get into it. Rusty here, and I’ll tell you straight up: the next couple of weeks at Jardim Atlantico are a real mixed bag, and you’ll need to be patient. The water temperature is sitting at 78°, which is a touch warmer than average for this time of year, so you can leave the thick wetsuit at home.
The first real glimmer of hope comes Saturday morning, August 15th. We’ve got clean, glassy conditions with a light NE breeze, and a 2ft easterly swell rolling in with a period of 9 seconds. The combined energy is weak at 128, but for a beginner-friendly spot, the surf will be ordinary at best, not much to write home about. It’s a surfable wave, but nothing special.
Through the rest of the week into the next, the pattern is pretty grim. A lot of cross-onshore winds, poor conditions, and weak swell energy. The combined energy mostly stays below 200, with a few moderate spikes on Monday the 17th (349) and Tuesday the 27th (336), but those are accompanied by choppy, messy wind. The swell is mostly from the east and southeast, which is okay for Jardim Atlantico’s optimum ESE direction, but the quality is just not there.
We’ve got a big gap of poor to marginal surf from the 15th all the way through to the end of the month. The only standout that even remotely catches my eye is Saturday morning, August 29th. That’s over a week away, so take it with a grain of salt, but it’s showing a 5ft swell from the NE, with a 7-second period, and glassy conditions. The combined energy jumps to 365 (moderate), and the forecast says “expect good surf conditions.” That’s a big if, but if it comes together, that’s your best bet for a decent session. For a beginner spot, 5ft is getting a bit punchy, but still manageable.
Other than that, it’s a long wait. The consistent breaks here are usually fairly consistent, but this run looks like a real dry spell. Hang in there, and keep an eye on that August 29th morning session.
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.
