The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get straight into it. We’ve got Jardim Atlantico on the radar for the next couple of weeks, and I’ll be honest with you – it’s a tough stretch. The forecast is pretty bleak for the most part, with a lot of onshore and cross-onshore winds messing things up. The water temperature is sitting at a warm 78°, which is about average for this time of year, so at least you won’t be freezing your toes off.
We start off on Monday, August 24th, with a tiny 2ft easterly swell, period of 7 seconds, and glassy conditions in the morning. The combined energy is weak (38), so it’s small and weak. But that glassy wind is a treat – it’s just that there’s almost no surf to ride. By the afternoon, the wind swings onshore and it’s done.
Tuesday, August 25th, sees a bit more size at 2ft, but the wind is onshore, making it a write-off. The afternoon actually brings a sneaky 1ft south-southeast swell with a very long period of 14 seconds, pushing the combined energy up to 151, but it’s too small and the wind is onshore – not worth paddling out for.
Wednesday, August 26th, is the closest we get to a bright spot. The morning is glassy again with a 3ft easterly swell. The combined energy is 97, so it’s weak, but the conditions are clean. The report says “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions,” which sums it up. It’s not good, but it’s the best of a bad lot.
From Thursday, August 27th, all the way through to Tuesday, September 8th, it’s a long, dusty run of poor surf. The wind is almost always cross-onshore or onshore from the northeast or east-northeast, and the swell is small – between 2ft and 5ft – with short periods of 7 to 8 seconds. The combined energy is moderate (between 123 and 375), but that doesn’t matter when the waves are chopped up and messy. There are a few moments with marginal surf, but nothing that’s worth getting excited about.
The swell does push a little over 5ft on Saturday, August 29th, and into early September, but it’s accompanied by that cross-onshore wind. It’s not beginner territory at that size, but with the wind and short period, it’s just a bumpy, frustrating mess. Honestly, if you’ve got a kite, this setup might be more fun than paddle surfing.
For the true standout, I’ve got to point to the early morning of Wednesday, August 26th. It’s not a classic, but it’s the only time the winds are glassy and the waves are rideable. If you’re desperate, that’s your window. As for the rest, it’s a long wait. The forecast can always change, so don’t write the whole month off, but as it stands, it’s a quiet one.
Rusty.
