The Lowdown

G’day, Rusty here. Look, I’ll be straight with you – this forecast is a tough one to write. The first solid, surfable recommendation doesn’t pop up until the morning of Thursday, 20 August. That’s a few days of flat or junk right from the start. From there, the options are thin and mostly ordinary, with long stretches of poor conditions. The only real standout that’s worth getting keen about is that Thursday morning window at Jardim Atlantico, and even then, it’s not a monster.

Let’s start with the best of it. Thursday morning, 20 August, things finally come together. Jardim Atlantico is a beginner-friendly break, exposed to the swell, and it’s getting a clean 4 ft of swell coming from the east, with a period of 8 seconds. The combined energy is moderate at 218. What makes this morning the pick of the whole 16-day window is the wind – it’s glassy. Dead calm, no ripples, just clean lines. That’s a major positive for a break that’s fairly consistent. The water temperature is 78°, which is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there. Crowds are possible here sometimes, so you might have a few others with the same idea.

After that Thursday morning, it gets ordinary quickly. The afternoon turns to poor conditions, and the following days are a mixed bag of small surf, onshore winds, and messy cross-shore chop. Friday morning, 21 August, has a tiny 3 ft swell from the east (92 combined energy) with a light cross-offshore wind from the NNW, so it’s clean but very small. Not really worth paddling out for unless you’re desperate for a splash.

The next real chance is on Friday morning, 28 August – a full week later. That morning looks glassy again with a calm wind, and a 4 ft swell from the east (143 combined energy). The conditions are described as “surfable but very ordinary,” so it’s small and weak, but at least it’s clean. After that, it’s back to poor surf with onshore winds and choppy conditions right through to the end of the forecast on 2 September.

Honestly, there’s a lot of junk in this outlook. The swell is small, the periods are short (mostly 6 to 8 seconds), and the wind is rarely working in our favour. For a beginner break like Jardim Atlantico, the lack of consistent, clean swell is a bummer. The combined energy values are mostly in the two-digit weak range or low three-digit moderate range, so there’s just not much push in the water. If you’re a kite surfer, the onshore wind days with chop might look more interesting than paddle surfing.

Tides aren’t specified, but with these small, short-period swells, you’ll want to be out there at the right tide to get any shape. Keep an eye on the forecasts, because it tends not to stay this poor for long, but right now, it’s a waiting game.

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.
