The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s see what Jardim Atlantico is cooking up for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, it’s a slow start. The first few days are a write-off. We’ve got a weak, short-period easterly bump with the wind coming from the wrong side, making everything choppy and messy. The wave energy is pitiful – readings down in the 40s and 60s. Not worth getting wet for.
We get a glimmer of hope on Thursday, July 30th, when the wind goes glassy in the morning, but the swell is only 2ft. It’s clean, but there’s just nothing to push you along.
The first real sign of life comes on Saturday, August 1st. The swell lifts to around 5ft from the east, and the energy jumps to 184. But the wind is cross-onshore, so it’s going to be a bit bumpy. It’s a start.
Sunday, August 2nd morning is the first solid window. The swell is 5ft from the east, with an 8-second period, and the energy is a healthy 468. The wind is a light cross-onshore, so the surface will have some texture, but it’s rideable. For a beginner-friendly spot, that’s a good morning for a longboard.
The real standout, though, is Tuesday, August 4th morning. That’s the one. The swell is a clean 4ft from the east, the period is 8 seconds, and the wave energy is 238. The wind is glassy – dead calm – and the sky is clear. That’s the kind of morning that makes you want to paddle out before the sun’s up. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so no shocks there. This is your best bet for clean, fun waves.
After that, the wind turns onshore or cross-onshore again, and the swell backs off. The morning of August 6th gives you a brief clean spell with a light cross-offshore breeze, but the swell is only 4ft, so it’s pretty average. The rest of the second week is a mix of messy winds and dropping swell, with energy levels falling below 200. By August 12th, the swell tries to push again – 5ft with 546 energy in the afternoon – but the wind is cross-onshore and the conditions are just marginal. It’s a long way off, so don’t plan your life around it.
Bottom line: the first week is a slow grind, and the second week is spotty. Lock in that Tuesday morning, August 4th.

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.
