Table - best surf conditions forecast for Jardim Atlantico over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for Jardim Atlantico over the next couple of weeks. Gotta be straight with you – it’s a slow start. Real slow.
We’re looking at a frustrating gap right off the bat. From the 10th of July right through to the morning of the 20th, there’s just nothing worth paddling out for. The swell is tiny, the wind is messy, or both. A few mornings pop up as “surfable” but ordinary, with ankle to knee-high dribble and cross-off breezes that just can’t save it. The wave energy is weak, barely cracking triple digits (119 to 186) at best. The water’s sitting at a warm 79°, which is bang on average for this time of year, but that’s about the only positive.
Now, the first real glimmer of hope comes on the morning of Monday the 20th of July. We’ve got some rain showers passing through, but it goes completely glassy – dead calm, zero wind. That’s a massive positive. The swell bumps up to a clean 4 ft from the E with a short period of 7 seconds, but the combined energy jumps to 302 – moderate energy, which gives it some punch for the size. It won’t be a classic groundswell, but with the surface looking like a mirror, it’ll be the best looking wave we’ve seen in over a week. This is for beginners and intermediates, but the glassy morning will make it fun.
Following that, Tuesday the 21st of July morning is another standout. Again, we’ve got glass-like conditions with a light SW breeze at 3 mph and a clean 4 ft from the E. The period stretches a little to 8 seconds and energy holds strong at 277. It’s consistent, clean, and right in that sweet spot for a mellow, user-friendly wave. This could be the pick of the bunch, honestly. Jardim Atlantico is a beginner-friendly spot, normally exposed to swell from the ESE, and while the direction isn’t perfect, the clean conditions will make it rideable and enjoyable.
Later in the week, the mornings of the 22nd, 23rd, and 25th also see periods of flat glass or light offshore winds, but the swell drops off a touch in size or energy. The 23rd morning looks alright – again 4 ft and glass – but nothing that beats that Monday-Tuesday combo.
Overall, the standout is the Monday 20th and Tuesday 21st of July mornings. Don’t bother with the rest. Those two mornings will be the only moments where everything clicks into place. Crowds are “sometimes” an issue here, and with conditions that good, expect company.
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.
