The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s give you a local’s look at what Jardim Atlantico has cooking, and I’ll be honest – there’s a lot of flat and choppy water to sift through before we get to anything good. The first real chance you have to get wet doesn’t show up until Tuesday, the 1st of September, and it’s a one-morning deal. That’s a long wait of nearly a week with nothing on offer.
From right now, Monday the 24th of August, all the way through to the end of the month, it’s a bleak picture. Little east and ENE swells, with height from about 2ft to 5ft, but the period is short and the wind is almost always blowing onshore or cross-onshore. The combined energy is weak to moderate, topping out around 150 to 250 range at times, but it’s just messy. Not worth paddling out.
Monday morning the 31st gives you a little hope – 4ft of east swell with a cross-shore breeze keeping things a bit cleaner, and energy sitting at 216. It’s still marginal, but it’s the first sign of life.
The real standout is Tuesday the 1st of September morning. Swell jumps to 6ft from the ENE, with solid energy at 624, and the wind goes light and cross-offshore from the NNW. That’s the combo you want. The water temp is average for this time of year. The break is beginner-friendly, but 6ft is going to be a handful for beginners. It’s a Tuesday, so you might see a few others out, but not a guarantee. That morning is your ticket. Afternoon gets choppy again.
From the 2nd of September onward, it’s back to onshore winds and poor surf. Some mid-period swell around 3ft to 4ft shows up, but the wind kills it. The last few days are a mix of rain and onshore junk.
So, to put it plain: you’ve got a long dry spell, and then one clean, solid morning on Tuesday the 1st of September. That’s your window, about a week out. Lock it in.
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.
