Alright, let’s get into it. Things are pretty quiet for Jardim Atlantico over the next couple of weeks. We've got a bit of a slow start, but there are a few windows where you can get a paddle in.
Sunday morning, the 5th of July, is our best bet early on. There’s a small 4ft east swell rolling in, with a short 8-second period, so it’s not packing much punch—combined wave energy is only 246 (moderate). The wind is light and cross-offshore from the SSW, which will keep the surface clean. Water temp is sitting at 79°, which is pretty average for this time of year, so nothing crazy there. The break is exposed to the east, and the swell is coming from the east, so it’s matching up nicely. It’s a beginner-friendly spot, and while it can get a crowd sometimes, this small surf might keep numbers down. It's glassy early, so get on it.
Monday morning the 6th, the swell drops to 3ft from the east, still short period. Wind stays light cross-off from the SSW, keeping it clean, but it’s very ordinary. The wave energy drops to 114 (weak to moderate). Not a standout, but if you’re desperate, it’s rideable.
Tuesday morning the 7th is similar—2ft east swell, light cross-off wind, clean but small. Energy’s at 108. Nothing to write home about.
After that, we hit a real dry spell. From Wednesday the 8th right through to Monday the 20th of July, it’s mostly tiny surf and onshore winds. There are a few glassy mornings—like Thursday the 9th, Friday the 10th, Saturday the 11th, and even Sunday morning the 20th—but the swell is tiny, mostly under 2ft, and the energy is weak. The few times we get a longer period, like 13 seconds on Thursday the 9th or Friday the 19th, the swell is still too small to be fun. You might see a ripple, but it’s not really surfable.
The standout overall is still Sunday morning, the 5th of July at Jardim Atlantico. It’s the only day where the swell height and wind line up for a clean, rideable session. After that, it’s a long wait until the 20th, and even then, it’s just a glassy morning with a tiny 1ft south-east groundswell—long period at 13 seconds, but not enough size to get excited about. Energy on the 20th morning is 131, which is still moderate, but the lack of height kills it.
Honestly, if you’re not out there Sunday morning, you’re probably waiting over two weeks for the next decent chance. It’s a bit of a flat spell for the area, but that happens.

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.
