The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, we’re in for a bit of a flat spell for a while, so don’t go getting your hopes up too high too quick. The first real window where it might be worth paddling out is a couple of days away. The rest of the time, it’s mostly onshore slop or just too small.
The best chance of a decent session comes up on Thursday, 3rd September. Early morning at Jardim Atlantico the wind is set to go glassy, with a clean 4ft swell rolling in from the E. The swell period is a short 8 seconds, so it won’t have the grunt of a proper groundswell, but when it’s that clean and with only 3 mph wind, you can’t complain. The combined energy is moderate at 206, so there’s enough push for a fun little wave. The water is about average for this time of year, nothing wild temperature-wise. It’s a beginner-friendly break, so that waist-to-chest high stuff will be super user-friendly. Just keep an eye out for a few others in the water – it can get a crowd here sometimes.
The other little glimmer is Friday, 4th September. Same spot, again in the morning, with a glassy 4ft E swell. It’s a bit smaller, but still clean. The water temp is still right around the seasonal average. The combined energy drops to 217, which is moderate, but you’ll be surfing clean lines with no wind, so it’s a solid option for a quiet paddle.
After that, things get pretty grim. From the 5th through to the 10th, we’ve got a long stretch of cross-shore and cross-onshore winds, with the swell getting smaller and smaller. The combined energy drops to weak values, like 96 on the 6th, and down to 73 on the 9th. It’s really not worth getting wet.
There’s a bit of a bump in size around the 11th and 12th, with 6ft to 6ft E swell, and the combined energy jumps up to 631 and 694, which is solid moderate energy. But the wind is cross-on or onshore, and the period is still short. The conditions are described as marginal at best, with a cross-chop. For a beginner spot, that 6ft is getting a bit much, and the bumpy surface won’t do it any favours. It’s still a short-period swell, so it’s not going to be the cleanest.
The rest of the second week looks like more of the same – onshore wind and messy conditions. There’s nothing you’d want to race out for.
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.
Jardim Atlantico is 9 km (6 miles) from the city of Ilheus. If you plan a holiday in Bahia - Sul, look for hotels and other accommodation in Ilheus. Ilheus has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
