The Lowdown
Alright, my fellow wave-chasers, Rusty here to break down the next couple of weeks.
I'm not gonna sugarcoat it—this is a pretty bleak run for Jardim Atlantico. The forecast is full of small, messy, and weak conditions. The combined swell energy starts out weak, only hitting 42, and the surf is just not happening. For the first ten days, from July 28th through August 6th, it's all poor surf. The wind is mostly onshore or cross-onshore, chopping up any little bumps that try to form. We're talkin' tiny waves with short periods around 7 seconds. The water temperature is 78°, which is about average for this time of year.
Now, there is a little flicker of hope. By the time we hit Friday, August 7th, the morning session shows a change. The wind shifts to a light cross-offshore breeze from the northwest, and the report says the surf is "clean". The swell is still only 3ft from the east, but the combined energy climbs to 126. It's not the day to call in sick, but it's the first surfable window we've seen. The waves are very ordinary, but clean.
We then hit another dry spell until Tuesday, August 11th. The morning of the 11th we get glassy conditions with a light northerly breeze. The swell is 4ft from the east, period is 8 seconds, and energy is 145. Again, it's surfable, but very ordinary.
The best of the entire outlook, and honestly, the only bright spot, is the Wednesday morning of August 12th. The wind is dead calm, glassy as can be. Swell is 3ft from the east, period 8 seconds, with a combined energy of 132. It's not a pumping swell, but the total lack of wind will make it the most fun you'll have all fortnight. It's the only time the report says "clean" and "glassy" together all month. Don't expect a barrel, but for a longboard or a funboard, it'll be the pick of a very poor bunch.
So, to sum it up: the first ten days are a write-off. Then we have two ordinary but clean mornings on the 7th and 11th, and one standout glassy morning on the 12th. That's your lot.
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.
