The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – this outlook for Jardim Atlantico is a tough one. We’ve got a 16-day window, but honestly, it’s pretty barren. There’s no good surf on offer for the first few days, and the pattern doesn’t really change. The first sniff of anything comes Friday morning, the 21st of August, but it’s not what you’d call good.

Friday morning, August 21st: We’ve got a small, weak easterly swell pushing in at 3 ft, with a short period of 7 seconds. The combined energy is weak (88), so it’s not packing much punch. The wind is light from the northwest, which is cross-offshore, so it’ll be clean enough for a beginner. The water temp is a lovely 78°F, which is about normal for this time of year, so no surprises there. But honestly, this is surfable, not fun. It’s just very ordinary.

Friday afternoon: The wind swings to the northeast, turning it cross-on, and the swell stays the same size. It gets choppy. Not worth paddling out.

Saturday, August 22nd, through to the end of the forecast: The pattern is a broken record. The swell stays small, between 2 ft and 4 ft, always from the east or east-northeast, with periods mostly between 6 and 8 seconds. The wind is almost always onshore or cross-onshore, from the northeast or east-northeast, at 6 to 12 mph. It’s going to be choppy, bumpy, and generally poor. There are a couple of glassy moments – like Sunday morning, August 23rd, and Tuesday morning, August 25th – but the swell is too small and weak (42 and 78 energy) to make anything of it.

The only real standout – and it’s a big ‘if’: Look at Thursday afternoon, August 27th. The swell drops to 2 ft, but the period jumps to 15 seconds. That’s a very long period groundswell, and the combined energy is moderate (246). For a spot like this, a long period east-southeast swell is what you want to see. But it’s tiny. The wind is cross-onshore, so it won’t be clean. It’s a teaser, a promise of something that might have been if the size was there.

The rest of the run: From the 28th of August through to the 5th of September, we see the swell slowly building, hitting 4 ft by the 31st, with energy climbing into the 200s and even 296 on the 1st of September. But the wind is always cross-on or onshore, and the direction is never quite right. The setup here is a beach break, so with that onshore wind and small, weak swell, it’s going to be a mess. For a kite surfer, it might look interesting, but for a paddle surfer, it’s a no-go.

Bottom line: There’s not a single day in this 16-day window that I’d call good. The consistency is poor, the wind is almost always wrong, and the swell is either too small or too short period. It’s a blank run. Jardim Atlantico can be a fun little beginner wave, but this forecast is a write-off. Keep your board in the bag, or wait for the forecasts to change – they usually do.

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.
