Jardim Atlantico Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let’s get into it. Things are pretty quiet for Jardim Atlantico over the next couple of weeks. We've got a bit of a slow start, but there are a few windows where you can get a paddle in.

Sunday morning, the 5th of July, is our best bet early on. There’s a small 4ft east swell rolling in, with a short 8-second period, so it’s not packing much punch—combined wave energy is only 246 (moderate). The wind is light and cross-offshore from the SSW, which will keep the surface clean. Water temp is sitting at 79°, which is pretty average for this time of year, so nothing crazy there. The break is exposed to the east, and the swell is coming from the east, so it’s matching up nicely. It’s a beginner-friendly spot, and while it can get a crowd sometimes, this small surf might keep numbers down. It's glassy early, so get on it.

Monday morning the 6th, the swell drops to 3ft from the east, still short period. Wind stays light cross-off from the SSW, keeping it clean, but it’s very ordinary. The wave energy drops to 114 (weak to moderate). Not a standout, but if you’re desperate, it’s rideable.

Tuesday morning the 7th is similar—2ft east swell, light cross-off wind, clean but small. Energy’s at 108. Nothing to write home about.

After that, we hit a real dry spell. From Wednesday the 8th right through to Monday the 20th of July, it’s mostly tiny surf and onshore winds. There are a few glassy mornings—like Thursday the 9th, Friday the 10th, Saturday the 11th, and even Sunday morning the 20th—but the swell is tiny, mostly under 2ft, and the energy is weak. The few times we get a longer period, like 13 seconds on Thursday the 9th or Friday the 19th, the swell is still too small to be fun. You might see a ripple, but it’s not really surfable.

The standout overall is still Sunday morning, the 5th of July at Jardim Atlantico. It’s the only day where the swell height and wind line up for a clean, rideable session. After that, it’s a long wait until the 20th, and even then, it’s just a glassy morning with a tiny 1ft south-east groundswell—long period at 13 seconds, but not enough size to get excited about. Energy on the 20th morning is 131, which is still moderate, but the lack of height kills it.

Honestly, if you’re not out there Sunday morning, you’re probably waiting over two weeks for the next decent chance. It’s a bit of a flat spell for the area, but that happens.
