The Lowdown
Alright, grab your board, because it's gonna be a tough stretch. I'm looking at the whole 16-day window and, to be straight with you, there isn't a day I'd paddle out with high hopes. That first week or so is looking pretty bleak.
Our main spot, Jardim Atlantico, is just not getting any love. We're looking at a run of small, weak surf with onshore or cross-onshore winds messing up any chance of a clean face. There's a brief glimpse of hope on the morning of the 15th, where the ocean goes glassy with some 2ft waves from the East at 9 seconds. It's surfable, but it's far from exciting. The energy is weak, with a combined swell energy reading of 95. That's about the only time in that first stretch you'd even get wet.
Then we have a long flat spell. From the 16th through to the 21st, it’s mostly under 3ft and blown out, with energy numbers dipping as low as 57. Not worth the paddle. The morning of the 19th is glassy again, but the swell is weak at 3ft with an energy of 143. It’s a wave, but you’d be scratching for anything decent.
The swell tries to pick up a bit around the 22nd and 23rd, nudging up to 3ft, but the period drops to a crumbly 6-7 seconds and the wind is up. On the 22nd we get a moderate breeze straight onshore, making it choppy and messy. That’s more of a kite-surfing day than a surfing day, to be honest.
Things sort of fade out again into the 24th, 25th, and 26th with tiny waves and weak energy. There is a pulse of longer-period swell on the 26th, with an 11-second period, but it’s only 2ft. All that long-period energy with no size just means it’s going to close out.
Looking ahead to the 27th and 28th, the size comes back up slightly to 3ft and 4ft, but the period is short and the winds are cross-onshore. It’s still not looking worth the drive.
So here’s the deal. There’s no standout session in this whole forecast. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so you won't need the thickest suit. But honestly, if you’ve got to get wet, the morning of the 15th is your best bet for a clean, glassy, small-wave session at Jardim Atlantico. Otherwise, maybe dust off the kiteboard or find something else to do until we get a proper pulse of swell.
Stay patient.

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.
