Jardim Atlantico Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer for Jardim Atlantico over the next 16 days.

First up, I gotta be straight with you – the start of this period is a bit of a poor run for paddle surfing. There’s no decent surf recommendation until Friday the 4th of September, but even then, the conditions are only good for a very brief window. After that, we’re looking at a long stretch of poor surf quality right through until Wednesday the 9th of September, so don’t get your hopes up for a solid session in the first week.

The standout of the whole outlook is the Friday morning of September 4th. Jardim Atlantico is your spot to hit. We’ve got a 4 ft east swell rolling in at a 9-second period. The winds are glassy out of the southeast at just 3 mph, so the surface will be clean as a whistle. The wave energy is moderate (201), and it’s a beginner-friendly break. The water temp is about average for this time of year, nothing too wild, so a springsuit will do. That morning session is the one to chase.

After that glassy window, the wind swings onshore for Friday afternoon and the pattern goes downhill. From Saturday through to the middle of the following week, it’s onshore, cross-shore, choppy, and poor. The swell hangs around but the conditions just aren’t there. There’s a slight glimmer on the morning of Wednesday the 9th of September with 3 ft east-southeast swell, but it’s only a marginal call with onshore wind – better to stay in bed.

Moving into the second week, things stay pretty ordinary. The swell sticks around 3 ft to 5 ft from the east, but it’s almost constantly cross-onshore or onshore, and the wave energy hops between moderate and moderate-strong (values up to 373 on Sunday the 13th). But that energy is wasted on those dirty winds. There’s a tiny window on Tuesday morning the 15th of September with glassy conditions again, and the swell is 4 ft from the east, but the overall surf quality is only labelled as "surfable but very ordinary" – so not a standout.

Honestly, if you’re a beginner, Friday morning September 4th is your only real shot. For the rest of the time, the onshore winds and choppy conditions mean the setup at this beach-and-reef break might be more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. Keep an eye on the forecasts though, it tends not to stay poor for too long around here.

Rusty.
