The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the menu for Jardim Atlantico over the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – this is a tough stretch. The surf is there, but the conditions are just not playing ball for most of it. We’re looking at a solid 16-day window, but the first six days are a write-off. Tuesday the 8th morning starts with a tiny 2ft east swell, and while the wind is glassy, the forecast says "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions" and the combined wave energy is weak at 80. It's a beginner-friendly break, but honestly, it's not worth getting wet for. From Tuesday afternoon right through to Sunday the 13th, it’s a grim run of onshore and cross-onshore winds from the ENE and NE, making a mess of the small easterly swell. The energy picks up a bit, but the quality is poor.
Now, the one glimmer of hope comes on Monday the 14th. The morning session at Jardim Atlantico finally looks decent. We’ve got a 4ft east swell rolling in, and the wind is a light cross-offshore from the SSW, forecast to deliver "good surf conditions" with a "clean" wave state. The combined energy is moderate at 292. The water temp is sitting at 79°, which is about 2° warmer than average for this time of year – nice and warm. This is your window. After that, it’s back to the same old story of cross-onshore winds and choppy conditions for the rest of the week and into the next.
Further out, from the 17th of September through to the end of the month, the pattern doesn't change. The swell sticks around mostly between 3ft and 5ft, but the wind is relentlessly from the NE or ENE, cross-on and onshore. The energy spikes up to 410 on the 17th morning, but with that wind, it’s just going to be a bumpy, blown-out mess. Not worth paddling out for a proper surf. The forecast is pretty consistent in showing poor conditions, so don't hold your breath for a late change.
The standout is Monday the 14th morning. Get out there early for the cleanest waves of the whole outlook.
Rusty, signing off.

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.
