The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what’s on the table for the next couple of weeks. We’ve got one spot to focus on: Jardim Atlantico.
Honestly, this is a pretty quiet stretch overall. We’re looking at a short window of something rideable right at the start, then a long, long gap of days where you’d be better off doing something else.
The best chance to get wet is early on, Monday morning, July 20th. The swell is a modest 5ft from the East, with a period of 8 seconds, giving us a combined energy of 258 (moderate). The water is sitting at 78°F, which is pretty much normal for this time of year. The big story here is the wind – it’s glassy, a light 3 mph from the East, which is offshore for this spot. That means the surface will be clean, offering up some fun, forgiving waves. It’s a beginner-friendly break, and it’s fairly consistent, but you might have some company as crowds are sometimes an issue. This is the standout of the entire forecast, but it’s only a morning window; by the afternoon the wind swings onshore and the quality drops right off.
After that, things go flat and messy. From Monday afternoon, July 20th, all the way through to the end of the month, it’s a long run of poor to marginal conditions. The swell drops steadily, the wind is either onshore or cross-onshore, and the energy gets weak. We’re looking at a gap of about 10 days with no real surf to recommend.
There’s a tiny flicker of hope on Monday morning, August 3rd. The swell picks up slightly to 4ft, still from the East, with a period of 7 seconds and moderate energy (151). The wind goes glassy from the South again, which would clean things up. But it’s still just a small, ordinary wave, and it’s a long way out – so don’t hang your hat on it just yet.
For an area like this, a blank run with few consistent options is pretty normal. Keep an eye on the forecasts, but for now, it’s a quiet spell.

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.
