The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’.
First up, the water temp at Jardim Atlantico is sitting at 78°F, which is right about average for this time of year. So no surprises there.
To be honest, the next week and a half is pretty flat and ordinary. The first real surfable window we get is on Thursday morning, July 23rd. The swell is only 4ft from the east, with a short period of 8 seconds. The kicker is that the wind is glassy – dead calm – so it’ll be clean. But the combined energy is weak (190), so don’t expect much push. It’s surfable, but very ordinary.
There’s a real gap here. After that, it’s mostly poor surf conditions with onshore or cross-onshore winds and dropping swell until we get to Saturday morning, July 25th. That morning shows 3ft of east swell, 8 seconds, and glassy conditions, but the energy is weak (94). It’s a small, clean wave for a beginner to mess around on.
The next hint of something better comes on Thursday morning, July 30th, but it’s still small and weak. Honestly, the standout in this whole 16-day window is a long way off. I’m looking at Tuesday morning, August 4th. That’s when we get a pulse of proper groundswell – 1ft from the southeast, but with a very long period of 15 seconds. The energy jumps to moderate (220), and it’s glassy.
Then Wednesday morning, August 5th, is the real highlight. The swell bumps up to 2ft from the southeast, with a period of 16 seconds – that’s proper long-period groundswell. The energy is strong (318), and the wind is glassy. This is a classic setup. For a spot like Jardim Atlantico, which is exposed to the east-southeast, this swell direction is perfect. The water will be glassy, clean, and those long-period lines will wrap in nicely. This is a morning for the experienced surfer to get excited about. It’s a promising call, but it’s two weeks out, so keep an eye on it.
So, to sum it up: the first week is a washout. The standout is definitely Wednesday morning, August 5th. That’s the one to pencil in. The rest is just small, weak, and mostly blown out.
Rusty, signing off.

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.
