The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk Jardim Atlantico in feet and degrees.
We’re kicking off with a stormy Thursday morning – risk of thunderstorms, a 4ft swell from the east at a short 8 seconds, and a cross-shore breeze. Water temp is 79°, normal for the time of year. The combined energy is moderate at 205, but the conditions are just marginal. Not a great start.
Thursday afternoon is worse, so we’re basically waiting.
Then, Friday morning the 4th of September, we get a winner. Glassy conditions, light ESE wind – offshore for this break. Swell holds at 4ft from the east, 9-second period, combined energy 202 (moderate). It’s described as “glassy,” which means clean, smooth waves. This is the pick of the forecast. Jardim Atlantico is a beginner-friendly spot, and with small, clean swell and offshore wind, it’s perfect. Crowds are only *sometimes* an issue. Go get it Friday morning.
After that, the wind turns bad – cross-on and onshore – and the swell drops. There’s a brief, ordinary window on Tuesday morning the 8th with glassy conditions and a tiny 3ft east swell, but the energy is weak at 62. Not worth the drive.
We then hit a long stretch of poor surf with onshore winds. The next real opportunity is Friday morning the 11th of September. Again, glassy conditions, offshore NE wind, and a 4ft east swell with 7-second period. Combined energy is 211 (moderate). It’s clean, small, and fun. That’s your second standout, but it’s over a week away, so don’t book your trip just yet.
The rest of the run is a washout – cross-on winds, short-period swell, and poor conditions. There’s a couple of clean-ish mornings around the 15th of September, but the swell is small and the energy is weak (169). Nothing special.
To sum it up: your best bet is this Friday morning (4th September) with glassy, clean waves. The other one to watch is Friday morning the 11th of September. Everything else is a waiting game.
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.
