The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's break down what's coming down the pipe.
We're starting off with a bit of a lull. The first couple of days, the 18th and 19th, are a write-off – choppy, messy, cross-onshore winds. Not worth your time.
The first real chance comes on Monday morning, the 20th of July. Jardim Atlantico has a glassy start, with an easterly swell of about 4ft, period of 8 seconds, and moderate energy (219). The water's a warm 78°, which is pretty normal for this time of year. Good for a beginner, but not the highlight.
The standout is Tuesday morning, the 21st of July. Glassy conditions again, with the east swell nudging up to 5ft. The combined energy is a bit higher (297), and the wind is a slight air from the south. This is the session to aim for – clean, punchy, and fun for everyone.
Wednesday morning, the 22nd, is also glassy with a 5ft east swell. Another solid option.
Then the wheels fall off. From Thursday the 23rd through the end of the month, the swell drops and the wind turns onshore or messy. You'll see a couple of glassy mornings, like the 26th and 29th, but the swell is tiny – under 3ft – and the energy is weak (95). Not worth a trip.
The end of the period, around the 1st and 2nd of August, sees a bit of a bump in size from the ESE, but the wind is all kinds of cross, making it choppy. The combined energy hits 364 on the 1st of August afternoon, but with a 25 km/h cross-on wind, it's more of a kite session than a surf session. Too big for beginners and messy for everyone else.
So, the call is easy: Tuesday morning, 21st of July is the one. Monday the 20th is a good backup. The rest is a long wait.
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.

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.
