The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the table for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, it’s a bit of a tough stretch. We’re looking at a long run of mediocre to poor conditions, with only a couple of very brief windows that might be worth a paddle. The first surfable day doesn’t show up until Saturday, July 18th, and even then it’s only a marginal call. The whole first week is pretty much a write-off due to messy cross-shore and cross-onshore winds and rain showers messing up the surface.
The standout by a long shot—and really the only one worth circling on the calendar—is Sunday morning, July 19th at Jardim Atlantico. We’ve got a 4ft swell rolling in from the east with a period of 8 seconds, and the wind is due to be glassy. That means the surface will be clean, which is a massive positive given the chop we’ve been dealing with. The combined energy is moderate (257), so there’s a bit of push behind it. The water temp is sitting at 79°F, which is about average for this time of year. This spot can get crowded sometimes, so expect company if it cleans up. This is beginner-friendly at this size, so it’s a good one for a fun, easy session.
After that, there’s another gap until Tuesday morning, July 21st, where we see glassy conditions again but with a slightly smaller 4ft east swell. The energy is a bit weaker (190), and the conditions are described as “surfable but very ordinary.” It’s an option, but not a standout.
Looking further out, Saturday morning, July 25th and Sunday morning, July 26th show some promise with glassy and clean cross-offshore winds, but the swell is only 3ft and the energy is weak (124 and 118). It’s small, clean, and might be worth a longboard session if you’re desperate.
The very end of the run, Wednesday morning, July 29th, has flat calm, glassy conditions with a weak 3ft east swell (103 energy). Again, just a small, clean option.
Overall, the best bet is that Sunday morning, July 19th glassy session. The rest is mostly waiting for the wind to play nice. For the more experienced crew, nothing here gets over 6ft, but that 6ft on Friday morning, July 17th is ruined by rain and cross-onshore wind, so it’s a no-go. The combined energy on that day (505) suggests moderate wave energy, but the conditions are just poor.
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.
