The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the menu for the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, we’ve got a bit of a slow start, but things are gonna shape up. The first real chance to get wet is on the morning of Tuesday the 21st of July at Jardim Atlantico. The swell is a manageable 5ft from the east, but it's a short period of 8 seconds, so it's not packing much punch. The cross-onshore wind from the ESE at 3 mph is going to put a bit of crinkle on the surface, so it's not going to be the cleanest. The combined energy is moderate at 305. It's a marginal call, but it's the first surfable wave we've got. The water temp is about average for this time of year.
Now, the real standout window is Wednesday morning, the 22nd of July. The swell is 5ft from the east, still that 8-second period, but the magic is in the wind. It's glassy. Flat calm. Zero wind. That's going to make for some clean, peeling lines. The combined energy is a solid moderate 354. This is the best on offer by a long shot. It's a beginner-friendly break, so it's a good day for everyone to get some. It might get a little busy though, as crowds are sometimes an issue here.
The rest of the week is a bit of a mixed bag. Thursday morning the 23rd has 4ft easterly swell with glassy conditions from a light NE wind, but the energy drops to 195. It's surfable, but nothing special. Friday the 24th, Saturday the 25th, and Sunday the 26th all have tiny waves under 3ft, even with glassy conditions, it's just not enough to get excited about. The energy is weak, dropping to 94 on Saturday and then 70 on Sunday.
From Monday the 27th of July all the way through to Friday the 31st of July, we have a real flat spell. Waves are under 2ft and the energy is pitifully low. The winds are mostly onshore or cross-onshore, so it's just not worth paddling out. That's a solid 5-day gap with no recommendations.
The window opens a crack again on Saturday the 1st of August. We get a bump in swell to 4ft, but the ESE wind is 6 mph and cross-onshore, creating choppy conditions. The energy is back to moderate at 123, but the quality is poor.
We see another small pulse on Sunday the 2nd of August, with 5ft easterly swell, but it's accompanied by rain showers and a 9 mph cross-onshore wind. The energy is moderate at 346, but the conditions are messy.
The real second chance comes on the morning of Wednesday the 5th of August. This is a long-range promise, so keep a loose eye on it. The forecast has 5ft of east swell with that same 8-second period, but the wind is forecast to go glassy, dead calm from the south. The combined energy is a strong 534. It's a very promising outlook, but it's a week and a half away, so things can change. If it holds, it’ll be the best day of the whole second week.
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.
