The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what’s cookin' for Jardim Atlantico over the next couple of weeks.
To be honest, my friends, this is a tough one. Right now, we’re looking at a real dry spell. The start of the period is a write-off, with nothing but onshore winds and choppy, weak surf. The water’s sitting at a warm 79°, which is about average for this time of year, but that’s about the only thing going for us.
We’ve got to wait until Thursday, the 3rd of September, for any glimmer of hope. The morning is still messy with a risk of storms and a cross-shore breeze, but the afternoon shows a real shift. The wind swings to a light cross-offshore from the SSW, cleaning things up nicely. We’ll see waves around 4 ft with a short 8-second period out of the east. The combined energy is weak (246), but for this spot, that clean texture is a win. It’s not going to be pumping, but it’ll be ridable and far less frustrating than the days before.
Then, Friday the 4th of September morning is a real standout for the pure soul surfer. The wind drops to glassy, absolutely dead calm, with a 3 mph breeze from the NE. The swell is small, only 4 ft from the east with a slightly better 9-second period, and the combined energy is still low (197). Don’t expect power, but for a beginner-friendly break like Jardim Atlantico, glassy conditions on a small wave are pure gold. The crowd profile says "sometimes," so you might have company, but for that quality of glass, it’s worth it.
Beyond that, it’s a pretty grim slog. After Friday, the wind turns back onshore and stays that way for most of the next week. The swell dips, the period drops, and the conditions get choppy again. There’s a small window around the 13th and 14th of September where the swell bumps back up to 4 ft-4 ft, but the wind is still cross-on or onshore, so it’ll be a battle. The real kicker is that from around the 8th of September, the swell drops to less than 2 ft, and the combined energy plummets, bottoming out around 54 (9th September). It’s barely surfable.
So, the honest truth? The best of a bad bunch is that Thursday afternoon (3rd Sept) and that glassy Friday morning (4th Sept). If you’re desperate, paddle out then. But for the rest of the 16 days, you’re looking at a whole lot of nothing. Hang in there, forecasts can change, but right now, the ocean is not playing ball.
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.
