The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s break down the next couple of weeks at Jardim Atlantico.
Right now we’re stuck in a bit of a flat spell. The first few days – Friday through Sunday – are pretty much a write-off. Onshore wind, cross-on chop, and the swell is too messy to bother with. The water temp sits at a pleasant 78°F with an anomaly of just 0.9°F, so about normal for this time of year – at least the water feels nice, even if the waves don’t.
Things finally turn around on Monday morning, July 20. That’s the first real glimmer. We’ve got 4ft of east swell rolling in, period around 8 seconds – nothing crazy but enough to get a few rides. And the wind goes glassy. Dead calm. That means clean, smooth faces. Perfect for the beginner-friendly setup here. The combined energy is moderate at 224, so there’s some push, but it’s not going to be a beast. Crowds? Yeah, it’s a spot that can get busy, so expect some company if you paddle out Monday morning.
Tuesday morning, July 21, looks even a touch better – same glassy conditions, but the swell bumps up to 5ft and the energy ticks up to 258. That’s the standout of this whole run. Still that east direction, which is close to the optimum ESE, so the break should line up nicely. Very light winds, clean surface – that’s as good as it gets for a beginner wave.
Wednesday morning, July 22, is another glassy one with 4ft, though the energy slips back a little. Still worth a paddle if you missed the earlier windows.
After that, the swell drops off through the rest of the week and into the following days. Thursday the 23rd and Friday the 24th have some surfable but ordinary waves – 4ft to 3ft, glassy mornings but the energy is fading fast. By the weekend of July 25-26, we’re down to under 3ft, and the wind starts turning cross-off or cross-on again. The second week from July 27 onward is mostly tiny stuff – 2ft to 3ft, weak periods, and poor conditions. Not worth getting excited about.
So to sum it up: if you want the best of the bunch, aim for Tuesday morning, July 21. Clean, 5ft east swell, glassy – that’s your window. Monday and Wednesday mornings are solid backups. Everything else is a write-off or too small to bother.
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.
