The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you: it’s a pretty grim stretch ahead. We’ve got a long, quiet period with no real surf to get excited about. The first real opportunity to even wet a board comes up on Thursday morning, the 6th of August, at Jardim Atlantico. That’s the only spot on the radar, but it’s not exactly firing.
We’re looking at a small, short-period easterly swell pushing in at about 4ft, with a period of just 8 seconds. That’s weak, windswell stuff. The combined energy is moderate at best (173). The big plus here is the wind: it’s glassy, dead calm. That’s a major positive and will give you the cleanest conditions of the whole forecast window. The water is sitting at 79°, which is about average for this time of year.
For a beginner, this is your window. The swell is small, the wind is off, and it’s surfable even if it’s pretty ordinary. Just keep in mind that this spot is fairly consistent, but it can get crowded sometimes, so don’t expect to have it to yourself.
After that Thursday morning, it’s pretty much back to nothing. The wind swings around and ruins any chance of clean surf for days on end. There’s a tiny window on Tuesday morning, the 11th of August, with another glassy patch and 3ft of swell, but the energy is weak (95), and it’s still that short-period junk. Not worth a special trip.
Looking further out, the second week is just as quiet. We see a bit of a longer-period groundswell trying to show up around the 15th and 16th of August, with periods creeping up to 12-13 seconds, but the swell height is tiny – 2ft to 2ft – and the wind is a mess. There’s a bit of energy in the water (195-204), but it’s all cross and cross-onshore chop. It’s going to be bumpy, weak, and pretty much unsurfable.
The very last day, Thursday the 20th of August, shows a spike in combined energy (224) from the ESE, but again, the swell is only 2ft and the wind is onshore. The setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing at that point.
Honestly, there’s no standout session here. The best on offer is that Thursday morning glass-off on the 6th. It’s not going to be epic, but it’s the only time the ocean is cooperating. For the rest of it, save your energy and check back in a few days.
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.
