The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again, putting this into feet and miles per hour.
Looking at the whole forecast for Jardim Atlantico, it’s a tough read. We’ve got a long stretch of nothing special. The first several days, the swell is small and weak, and the wind is all wrong—either onshore or cross-onshore—making the ocean look like a washing machine. Tuesday the 11th has waves around 3ft from the east with a 7-second period, but with rain and a cross-on breeze, it’s a no-go.
The only real chance of something clean comes on Saturday the 15th morning. The swell drops to about 2ft from the east with a period of 9 seconds. But the wind goes light and cross-offshore from the NNW, and the report says "clean". The wave energy is super weak at 89, so it’s "surfable but very ordinary". For a beginners’ break, you might get a few grovelly rides on a log, but it’s not going to get the heart pumping.
After that, the wind turns onshore again and the swell stays tiny and period short. We do see a pulse of energy on the 19th and 20th of August, with wave energy readings hitting 421 (moderate) and swell heights up to 5ft from the east, but it’s all blown out by cross-onshore winds and rain. Total mess.
So, there is no real standout day here. The best you get is that Saturday the 15th morning. The water is about 79°, which is a bit warmer than normal for this time of year. For the rest of the stretch, with the wind howling onshore and the swell so small, it’s looking way more like a kiteboarding setup than a surfing one. It’s a barren run.
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.
