The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what’s coming up for Jardim Atlantico over the next couple of weeks.
To be straight with you, the first week and a half is a real struggle. We’ve got a long stretch of poor to marginal conditions from now right through until the 21st of July. The wind is stuck in a cross-on pattern, mostly from the SSE and SE, chewing up the wave faces. Swell does bump up a bit around the 19th and 20th, with chest to head-high sets (6ft to 7ft) from the ESE, but the energy is moderate (729 to 840 combined energy), and the period is short at 8 seconds – that’s weak, wind-affected stuff. The water is sitting at 79°F, about 1°F warmer than usual, so nothing too wild temperature-wise, but it’s not going to make up for the messy surf.
The best chance you’ll get in the whole 16-day window is on Wednesday the 22nd of July, early morning. That’s the standout. The wind drops right out, going glassy with a light SSW breeze. Swell drops to 4ft from the east, period still 8 seconds, but combined energy is moderate (283). For a beach break like Jardim Atlantico, that glassy morning is your ticket. It’s a beginner-friendly spot, so even with small waves, it’ll be clean and fun. Crowds can show up sometimes, but you’ll get a session.
After that, from the 23rd through the 29th, we’re back into small, weak surf. Morning glass-offs on the 24th, 25th, and 29th offer tiny knee-high waves (3ft to 3ft) with a 7-second period and low energy (77 to 95 combined energy). Surfable, but you’ll be working for it. The 29th morning has a weird long-period spike (14 seconds) from the SSE, but only 1ft – that’s all period, no push. Not worth paddling for.
From the 26th onwards, it’s flat to ankle-high, with combined energy dropping below 100. A real dry spell. Nothing to get excited about for the rest of the month.
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.
