The Lowdown
Alright, let’s have a look, folks. Rusty here.
Jardim Atlantico is in a bit of a quiet spell. The first real chance for a wave doesn’t show up for a few days, and even then, it’s small, short-period windswell with tricky winds. There’s a gap from now until around the 20th of August where the surf is basically non-existent. You’ll have to be patient.
The first little window is Thursday, the 20th of August. We’ve got a 4ft easterly swell coming in, but it’s short period at 8 seconds. The wind is glassy in the morning – light from the south – so the surface will be clean. The combined energy is weak (130). It’s surfable but nothing special. This is really a day for beginners and longboarders who just want to get wet. Crowds can show up sometimes, so don’t expect it to be empty.
The next morning, Friday the 21st, is similar: 3ft from the east, 7-second period, but again glassy with a light north-north-west breeze. The combined energy is very weak (90). It’s small and clean, but weak.
After that, we go into a longer stretch of poor conditions. The swell tries to push but the winds are mostly cross or cross-onshore from the north-east or east-north-east. The water temp is around 78°, which is normal for this time of year.
It’s not until the end of the month that we see a little more size. On the 30th of August, Sunday morning, the swell pushes to 5ft from the east-north-east, but it’s still short period (7 seconds) and the wind is light cross-onshore. The combined energy is moderate (206). It’s marginal, so not a complete loss, but the wind’s not perfect.
Then, on Tuesday the 1st of September, we get another bump: 4ft from the east-north-east, 7-second period, with a cross-shore wind from the north at 9 mph. The combined energy is moderate to strong (258). It’s also rated as marginal. The wind direction is a bit better, but still not glassy.
Honestly, for the whole 16-day window, there’s no true standout. The best you’re looking at are those two glassy mornings on the 20th and 21st, but the swell is tiny. If you’re an experienced surfer, you might be better off waiting for a better forecast. For the beginners, those glassy mornings are your best bet.
Stay patient, keep an eye on the charts. It tends not to stay this poor for too long around here.
Rusty.

A general guide to surfing at Jardim Atlantico can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu.

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.
