The Lowdown
Hey folks, Rusty here. Let's take a look at what's on the cards for the next couple of weeks.
Alright, straight up, the outlook is pretty slim. We've got a real quiet spell coming up, with very few windows of clean, surfable waves. The first bit of hope is Monday morning, July 20th, at Jardim Atlantico. The early session will be glassy, with a 5ft easterly swell. It's small, but those clean conditions will make it feel better than it is. The water temp is about average for this time of year, nothing unusual.
The real standout, though, is a long way off. Keep your eyes on Saturday morning, August 1st. We've got a 5ft swell from the ESE, and it's glassy again. The combined energy is moderate (363), and the longer period (7 seconds) is better than the short-period stuff we've been seeing. It's a beginner-friendly break, so that size is perfect. For a Saturday in early August, this is the best we've got on offer, but it's a long-range call, so don't lock it in just yet.
Before that, there are a few tiny windows. Tuesday morning, July 21st, and Wednesday morning, July 22nd, both offer 5ft easterly swells with glassy conditions. But the energy is weak (304-305), so it'll be very small and slow. Friday morning, July 24th, also has a glassy 3ft wave, but it's barely breaking.
After that, we drop into a long stretch of small, chopped-out surf from the 25th through to the 31st. The swell direction stays easterly, but the wind is mostly cross-on or onshore, making a mess of things. The energy drops right off into the double digits (50-174), so it's not worth the paddle.
Then there's Sunday, August 2nd. The swell picks up to 5ft from the east, but the cross-onshore wind from the SE will ruin it. The energy is moderate (493), but it's a write-off with that wind.
In short, the standout is the early glass on Saturday, August 1st. Don't hold your breath for the rest of the window.
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.
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.
