The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Right, let’s talk Jardim Atlantico. Honestly, the outlook is a tough one. Over this 16-day stretch, there’s surf around but the quality is mostly rubbish. The first few days are a total loss, so don’t get your hopes up.
Your only real shot comes on Wednesday, September 16th. The days before that are all cross-onshore junk, lumpy and messy. But Wednesday morning? The wind goes glassy – flat calm, perfect conditions for clean waves. The swell is running about 4 ft from the east, with a period of 8 seconds, and the combined energy is moderate at 319. The water is a warm 79°, a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so you’ll be fine without a wetsuit. Jardim Atlantico is an exposed beginner-friendly break, and that east swell is right in its wheelhouse. It’s fairly consistent, and while crowds can show up sometimes, that glassy morning should keep it quiet. That Wednesday morning is the only standout – a clean, fun session.
After that, it’s grim. Wednesday afternoon the wind turns cross-on again and chops it up. Then from Thursday the 17th all the way to the end of the month, it’s a desert. The wind is either onshore or cross-shore, the swell drops to 2 to 3 ft, and the combined energy is weak, often below 100. The period is short, around 6 to 7 seconds, so there’s no power. No decent waves at all. That’s a long, empty run of over a week with nothing worth paddling for. It’s not unheard of for the area to go quiet like this.
So, if you can make Wednesday the 16th work, get out there in the glass. Otherwise, it’s a waiting game. This is Rusty, signing off.

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.
