The Lowdown
Alright crew, Rusty here, giving you the lowdown on Jardim Atlantico. We’re looking at a pretty rough couple of weeks ahead, so don’t get your hopes up too high.
To be honest, the whole 16 days is a struggle. There’s no real gem in this forecast. The water’s about normal temperature for this time of year. We’ve got a long stretch of poor conditions starting right away and going through the first half of the month. The wind is mostly cross-onshore or onshore, which just kills any chance of a clean wave.
We get a little pulse of size around Saturday, September 19th, with waves hitting about 6ft from the ESE. The wave energy is up there at 548, which is strong, but it’s totally let down by rain showers and a moderate cross-onshore breeze. The period is only 7 seconds, so it’s just messy, lumpy windswell. This isn’t a day for a beginner board, and honestly, it looks like a better day for a kite than a paddle.
The only half-decent chance comes on the morning of Tuesday, September 22nd. We’ve got 4ft of east swell with an 8-second period, and the energy is a moderate 315. The wind is a light cross-onshore from the northeast at 6 mph. It’s still not glassy, but it’s the only window that isn’t a total bust. If you’re desperate, that’s your window.
The rest of September just fades out into poor conditions with light onshore breezes. For a spot that normally sees a bit more action, this is a frustrating dry spell.
Best bet: Tuesday morning, September 22nd. 4ft east swell (moderate energy). Light cross-onshore breeze. It’s marginal, but it’s the only game in town.
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.
