The Lowdown
Alright, let’s break it down. For Jardim Atlantico, the next sixteen days are looking pretty tough. There’s no real gold here, just a long stretch of messy conditions with a few fleeting moments of hope.
The water’s at 78°, which is about average for this time of year, so you’ll be comfy in a spring suit or just boardies.
The first real chance to paddle out comes Friday the 4th of September. The swell is 3 ft out of the east with a 9-second period, and the combined energy is moderate at 200. The wind is light and onshore, so it’s a bit of a marginal call. Not a day to write home about, but it’s surfable.
Saturday the 5th and Sunday the 6th are a write-off. Winds shift to the north and northeast, with cross-shore and cross-onshore breezes messing up the little swell that’s around. The swell drops to 3 ft to 4 ft, and the period gets short, even down to 5 seconds on Sunday afternoon. That’s just weak, choppy junk.
The next week is a slog. Light winds, small swell, and every report says “poor surf conditions.” It’s a real desert.
The one and only standout is Sunday the 13th of September. The morning session is your best bet. We’ve got a 4 ft easterly swell with a 7-second period, and the combined energy hits 241 (moderate). The wind goes north-northwest and turns glassy. That’s the key. The water will be clean and smooth. It’s a small wave, but for a beginner-friendly spot, it’s your only real window. It can get crowded here sometimes, so don’t expect to have it to yourself.
After that, it’s back to the same. The longer period groundswell from the south-southeast on the 15th brings some energy (342 – strong), but with onshore winds, it’s just a mess. The 18th and 19th have a bit more swell, but the wind is cross-onshore all day.
So, the long and short of it is: wait for that Sunday morning glass-off. That’s your only chance at a clean wave. The rest of the time, it’s a battle against the wind. Forecasts can change, but right now, it’s a quiet run.

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.
