The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. I’ll be honest, this 16-day forecast for Jardim Atlantico is a bit of a grind. We’ve got a slow start, and the good stuff is few and far between.
The first couple of days, Tuesday and Wednesday morning (August 18-19), have some swell in the water—around 4ft to 6ft—but the wind is all cross-onshore and it’s choppy. High energy (246 and 631), but it’s a mess. Not worth your time unless you like frustration. Thursday morning (August 20) is the one to circle. It’s only 4ft, but it’s from the E with a clean, glassy surface. The energy is moderate at 282, and it’ll be your cleanest, most fun surf of the whole period. For a beginner spot like this, that’s your window.
Then it dies. Friday (August 21) has a weak 3ft glassy morning, but the afternoon gets choppy again. From Saturday (August 22) through Monday (August 24), the surf drops to 2ft to 3ft, with weak energy (45 to 133). This is a dead zone. The board stays in the car.
Things try to build from Tuesday, August 25, but the wind is onshore or cross-on, and the quality is just poor. The swell builds up to 5ft by Sunday, August 30, but it’s lumpy and messy. Energy is up (172 to 260), but it’s not doing anything for us. It’s just bigger, not better.
So, the highlight is Thursday morning, August 20. That’s your cleanest, best option. The water temp is about average for the season, so no surprises there. Crowds are possible, so paddle out early. The rest of the window is mostly poor. The second week is just small, weak, or onshore—take your pick. Not much to get stoked about, but that one glassy morning might just hold you over.
Rusty out.

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.
