The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you – this 16-day window for Jardim Atlantico is a tough one. We’re looking at a long stretch of straight-up ordinary conditions, with only a couple of very brief windows that might be worth a paddle. The water is sitting at 79°, which is about 2° warmer than normal for this time of year, so at least you won't be freezing while you're groaning at the lack of waves.
The pattern is a lot of onshore and cross-onshore wind from the east and east-northeast, messing up what little swell we get. The swell is mostly weak, short-period windswell from the east, with combined energy values mostly in the low double and triple digits – weak to moderate energy at best. For the first week and a half, it’s a write-off. From Monday the 7th right through to the weekend of the 14th, the reports are all "poor surf conditions" or "marginal." It’s a cruel run.
The only real glimmer of hope comes on Saturday, the 12th of September. The morning session shows a bump in swell to 5 ft from the east, with a period of 8 seconds. The combined energy jumps to 512 (moderate energy), which is the biggest reading of the whole outlook. What makes it interesting is the wind: a light cross-shore from the north-northeast at just 3 mph. That’s the cleanest wind we’ll see in this whole forecast. For a beginner-friendly break, this is your best shout, but don't expect perfection.
The other session that might turn a few heads is Monday morning, the 7th of September. It’s not much – 3 ft from the east, 8-second period, with only 122 combined energy. But the wind is glassy, from the southeast at 3 mph. It’s the only other time the ocean looks flat and clean. You’ll be surfing small, very ordinary waves, but at least it won’t be a battle.
For the rest of it, don’t even bother. The winds are poor, the swell is small and weak. It’s a long, blank run. Keep an eye on the charts, because it can’t stay this poor forever.
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.
