Jardim Atlantico Surf Forecast and Surf Report

G’day, it’s Rusty. Bit of a quiet stretch ahead for Jardim Atlantico. The 16-day window starts with a pretty flat run, so don’t get excited just yet. The first real chance to paddle out comes on Sunday morning, 5 July, but it’s not a standout by any means. After that, the week ahead looks mostly small and forgettable, with a few brief windows of clean-ish conditions. Let’s go day by day.

Sunday morning, 5 July, we’ve got chest-high swell at 4ft from the east, with a short 8-second period, and combined energy of 246 (moderate). The wind is a light cross-offshore from the south, so the waves will be clean. Water temperature is 79°, about average for the time of year. This is the best on offer, but it’s only a modest little session. The afternoon turns crummy with onshore breeze so don’t bother.

Monday morning, 6 July, the swell drops to 3ft from the east, period still 8 seconds, energy down to 114 (weak). Wind is light cross-off from the SSW, so it’s clean but really weak. It’s surfable but very ordinary.

Tuesday morning, 7 July, is even smaller at 2ft, with a cross-shore breeze and energy of 111 (weak). Poor conditions.

Wednesday morning, 8 July, has 2ft from the east, energy 52 (weak), with a light cross-off from the NNW. Clean, but tiny.

Thursday morning, 9 July, is glassy with 1ft from the southeast, but the period is a long 13 seconds. Energy is 98 (weak). It’s glassy, but too small to get excited about.

Friday morning, 10 July, and Saturday morning, 11 July, are both small with cross-shore or glassy conditions, but swell below 2ft.

Sunday morning, 12 July, through to Thursday morning, 16 July, remains small, with most sessions offering 2ft to 3ft and poor or ordinary conditions. A few clean mornings but nothing with any push.

The next real chance appears on Sunday morning, 19 July, with 4ft from the northeast, 6-second period, and energy of 156 (moderate). The wind is glassy from the NNW. It’s the best-looking swell in the second week, but it’s short-period and not well-formed. Still, a glassy morning with waist-high waves is better than nothing.

After that, Monday morning, 20 July, sees a very long 18-second period groundswell, but only 1ft, so it’s almost flat.

Overall, the clear standout is Sunday morning, 5 July, with 4ft east swell and clean cross-off winds. It’s the only window where the combination of size and wind works. Everything else is either too small, blown out, or both. If you’re patient, it’s a one-morning affair.
