The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what Jardim Atlantico is cooking up for us over the next couple of weeks.
Jardim Atlantico (Jardim-Atlantico)
Mate, I'm not gonna lie to you, it's a pretty slow start. We've got a bit of a flat spell on our hands for a while. The first surfable waves aren't going to show up until Thursday the 23rd, and even then, it's just knee-to-waist high stuff at about 4ft from the east. The period is short, only 8 seconds, so it's not packing much punch. The combined energy is weak, sitting at only (190). The good news is Thursday morning looks glassy with zero wind, so if you're absolutely desperate for a paddle and a few grovelly waves, you could make something of it. Afternoons are a washout with onshore wind.
Honestly, from Thursday afternoon all the way through to the end of the first week of August, it's a real struggle. We're looking at a solid 10-day stretch where the surf is tiny, and the conditions are poor. There are fleeting moments of glassy mornings, like Saturday the 26th and Monday the 28th, but the swell is barely there – dropping from 3ft down to a pathetic 2ft. The wave energy is weak, with two-digit values like (70) and (48). It's not going to be worth getting wet for if you have anything else to do.
There's a tiny flicker of hope around Monday the 3rd of August. The morning shows a pulse of 3ft from the east, and it's glassy. The energy creeps up a bit to (125), but it's still pretty ordinary and short period. Then Tuesday the 4th sees the combined energy jump to (344) that afternoon, but the wind is straight onshore, so it'll be a mess.
But listen, the real standout – the one thing worth circling on your calendar – is Friday the 7th of August. I know it's a way off, so don't get too giddy yet, but the models are hinting at something. That morning we get a long-period groundswell from the SSE with a 13-second period. The wave height is only 3ft, but the energy reading is a massive (504), which is strong. That long period is the key. It won't be a dumping beach break; it'll have some push and shape, and because Jardim is exposed to that ESE optimum direction, there's a chance it lines up nicely. The wind is light and cross-onshore, creating only small ripples, so it could be clean. That's the one to watch, but keep in mind it's a long-range call, so it's promising, not guaranteed.
So, to sum it up: save your energy for the early morning glass-offs if you're desperate, but the real highlight is that Friday the 7th of August morning session. Fingers crossed.

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.
