The Lowdown

G’day, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming up at Jardim Atlantico. The forecast is a bit of a mixed bag—there’s always some swell in the water, but the wind and conditions are chopping things up for most of the period. The water temp is sitting around 78°, which is pretty much average for the time of year, so no surprises there.

The standout window is the very first session: Friday morning, 4 September. It’s the only real gem in the whole 16 days. We’ve got a small but clean 4ft wave from the east, with a period of 9 seconds—that’s a decent little groundswell, not too long, not too short. The wind is glassy, light from the ESE at just 3 mph, so the surface will be silky smooth. Combined wave energy is moderate at 201, nothing huge, but perfect for a beginner-friendly break like this. It’ll be a fun, cruisy session for getting wet. Keep in mind that crowds are possible here sometimes.

From Friday afternoon onward, the story turns sour. The wind swings onshore or cross-onshore, and it stays that way for the rest of the forecast. The swell sticks around between 2ft and 5ft, with periods mostly in the 6 to 9-second range, but the wind spoils it all. There’s a persistent cross-onshore or onshore breeze, often from the NE or ENE, blowing at 6 to 12 mph, making the waves lumpy, choppy, and just plain messy. Even when the swell height picks up a bit—like around 5ft to 5ft in the second week—the onshore wind kills it. The combined energy climbs up to moderate–strong levels, hitting 557 on the 18th, but it’s all wind-affected junk.

There’s a very long gap here with no real surfable conditions. From Friday afternoon on the 4th, right through to the end of the 16-day window on the 19th, every session is rated poor. A few mornings, like the 16th and 18th of September, get a “marginal” tag, but with the wind still onshore or cross-onshore, it’s not worth getting excited about. The 18th morning has the biggest swell at 5ft and strong energy (557), but the wind is cross-onshore from the SE at 6 mph, so it’s still messy. That’s more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer, to be honest.

So, bottom line: if you can get out on Friday morning, 4 September, you’ll get the only clean, glassy waves of the whole run. After that, it’s a long, frustrating stretch of poor conditions. The break is fairly consistent with swell, so it’s not a total blank run, but the wind is the enemy here. Forecasts can change, but for now, it’s a one-hit wonder.

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.
