The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a close look at what Jardim Atlantico has brewing for us over the next couple of weeks.
First up, we’re looking at a stretch that starts pretty flat and messy. The opening days are a write-off, with small, weak, and choppy conditions. Tuesday the 14th and Wednesday the 15th serve up tiny, wind-affected leftovers that aren't worth paddling out for. The water temp is about average for the time of year, nothing to write home about.
Thursday the 16th sees a pulse of longer-period swell arrive in the afternoon, but it’s onshore and the energy is still moderate. Not the day.
The real standout window appears on Friday morning, July 17th. This is where the ocean wakes up. We get a solid 6ft swell from the SE, with a long 12-second period pushing meaningful groundswell energy that shows in the combined energy reading—strong stuff. The wind is a light cross-onshore breeze, and while it’s not glassy, it’s the best wave height and period we see in the whole outlook. This is for experienced surfers given the size, and with the swell direction matching the optimum, it’s got potential.
The following weekend offers some small windows. Sunday morning the 19th and Monday morning the 20th both deliver glassy conditions with chest-high waves around 4-5ft from the east. Energy levels are moderate, but clean, lined-up surf on those mornings is the best trade-off for consistency and quality. Crowds are possible here, so get in early.
After that, the second week trails off into a familiar pattern of small, short-period windswell with cross-onshore winds. The 22nd has a glassy morning for a very ordinary wave, but it’s weak. The rest of the period through to the 29th is mostly small, choppy, and not worth chasing. The very last morning on the 29th July offers a glassy start but with tiny 3ft waves and very low energy—strictly a longboard or a paddle.
Overall, the best bet is Friday morning, July 17th for a punchy, solid groundswell, or the glassy weekend mornings of the 19th and 20th for cleaner, easier waves.
Rusty.

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.

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.
