The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the menu for the next couple of weeks.
We’re kicking off with a pretty quiet stretch. The first few days are just small, weak swell with some glassy moments, but nothing to get excited about. The real story starts to build around the beginning of August, with a slow but steady increase in size and energy. The standout action is definitely tucked away at the very end of the forecast window.
The best bet on offer is Jardim Atlantico on Monday, August 10th. Early morning is looking prime with a clean 4 ft swell from the east, but the big news is that south wind is swinging offshore, making it glassy. The combined energy of all swells directed here is moderate (362), and with that period around 8 seconds, it’ll be a nice, clean, manageable wave. This is the pick of the whole run.
Before that, the weekend of Saturday, August 8th and Sunday, August 9th sees a jump in size. The swell pushes 5 ft on Saturday morning, but it’s coming in with onshore wind, so conditions are messy. The energy is strong (445), but it’s a real battle with the wind. Later in the day on Sunday, August 9th, the swell hangs around 4 ft from the east, but again, the onshore wind keeps it from being clean. Not great for a paddle.
Earlier in the week, from Monday, August 5th through Thursday, August 8th, the swell is in the 4 ft to 5 ft range, but the wind is mostly onshore or cross-onshore, so the surf will be choppy and uninviting. The energy is moderate to strong (up to 297), but the quality is poor.
The first week or so has very little to offer. Small, weak waves with glassy mornings but no real push. The best of that early period is on Sunday, July 26th morning, with a tiny 2 ft east swell under glassy conditions, but it’s just not enough to get stoked about.
For the beginners, when the swell hits 5 ft on Saturday, August 8th, it’s starting to get a bit too much. For the experts, the biggest energy comes on Saturday, August 8th, but the wind is against you. The longest period is a late 15-second pulse on Friday, August 7th, but it’s coming from the SSE and is a bit mixed up with onshore wind, so it’s not going to be a classic.
All in all, be patient. The cleanest, most fun window is that Monday morning, August 10th. Everything else is a case of picking through the scraps.
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.
