The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for the stretch ahead. It’s going to be a quiet run, no two ways about it. We’ve got a single break to work with, and honestly, the next 16 days are more about patience than paddling.
The overall picture is a long, drawn-out period of small, weak, and messy conditions. The majority of the forecast shows poor surf with energy levels that rarely get out of the weak zone. There’s a big gap of days with no real recommendation, so don’t be holding your breath for any magic.
Let’s start with the only spot we’ve got: Jardim Atlantico. This is a beginner-friendly, fairly consistent beach break exposed to the swell, with an optimum direction from the ESE. The water temp is about average for this time of year, nothing special to report.
Saturday the 8th and Sunday the 9th are a write-off. Tiny 3ft swell from the ENE and E, a short period of 7 seconds, and cross-onshore winds make for choppy, poor conditions. The combined energy is weak (198 and 150). Nothing to see here.
Monday the 10th morning is the first real glimmer. The wind goes glassy, dead calm, and the swell drops to 3ft from the E. It’s still short period (7 seconds) and the energy is weak (92), but it’s rideable, and clean. It’s the best you’ll get for a while, but it's still pretty ordinary.
For the rest of that week and into the next, it’s a long stretch of poor surf. The swell bounces between 2ft and 4ft, mostly from the E or ESE, with a short period of 7-8 seconds. The winds are nearly always cross-onshore or onshore, chopping things up. The combined energy rarely climbs above 200, staying in the weak to low-moderate range. Thursday the 13th morning and Friday the 14th morning are the only other sessions that rate as “surfable but very ordinary”, with Friday the 14th morning offering a glassy 3ft swell from the E with a slightly better period of 8 seconds, but still weak energy (111).
From the 15th of August onwards, the swell period does stretch out to 10 and 12 seconds, which is a bit more interesting for a groundswell feel, but the wave heights are tiny at 2ft. The energy is still weak (115-215), and the wind stays cross or cross-on. The 18th of August morning shows a glassy 1ft swell from the ESE with a 10-second period, but the energy is a paltry 50. It’s barely surfable.
The final standout, if you can call it that, is the 19th of August afternoon. It’s a marginal call with a 4ft swell from the E, a short 7-second period, and onshore wind. The energy jumps to 221, which is moderate, but the quality is poor.
So, the honest truth? There’s no real standout in this entire 16-day window. The best on offer is that glassy Monday morning, the 10th of August. It’s clean, small, and weak. For a beginner, that might be a fun little session. For anyone else, it’s a waiting game. The rest of the time is a mix of small, choppy, and poor conditions. It’s a pretty blank run, and for this area, it’s not that unusual to have a stretch like this. Forecasts can change, but for now, keep your expectations low.
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.
