The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s coming up at the surf.
Look, I’m gonna level with you—this stretch from August 11th right through to the 26th is pretty grim for paddle surfing. The wave energy is there in patches, but the quality is mostly dead. The water’s sitting at 79°, which is about normal for the time of year, so at least you won’t freeze if you’re desperate.
The first real flicker of hope comes on Saturday morning, the 15th. Jardim Atlantico sees a small 3ft easterly swell with a 9-second period. The kicker? Glassy conditions. Dead calm wind. That’s a window for a beginner-friendly wave. The combined swell energy is only 115 (weak) so it’ll be small and a bit gutless, but it’ll be clean. Crowds are sometimes, so you could luck into a quiet bank.
The next one to circle is Saturday morning, the 19th. Again, small 4ft easterly swell (8-second period). Glassy again—offshore from the SW at just 3 mph. That’ll clean it right up. Energy is moderate at 180. Same deal: small, clean, soft. For a beginner, that’s actually your best offer in the whole 16 days.
Now, if you’re after the standout, Thursday morning, the 20th of August is the one. Swell bumps to 4ft east, 8-second period, but the wind goes glassy from the ENE at just 3 mph. The forecast says “expect good surf conditions”—the only time in the whole run they say that. Energy is moderate at 206. It’s still small, but with zero wind and a clean face, that’s the pick of the bunch for an easy-going session. Beginners welcome.
Between these dates, it’s mostly cross-on or onshore wind, chopped-up, short-period slop. A lot of afternoons are just a mess. The gaps of no-good days run for several days in a row—11th through 14th, then again from the 16th into the 17th and 18th, and the last week from the 21st onward offers nothing but poor surf conditions all day long.
Honestly, there’s no big clean groundswell here. The best windows are small, glassy mornings at a break that’s fairly consistent but not pumping. Keep your expectations tiny, and you might enjoy a splash.

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.
