The Lowdown
Alright, grab your wettie and listen up. Rusty here, looking over the charts for Jardim Atlantico.
Honestly, for the first week and a half, it’s a tough stretch. The wind is just not playing ball. From Friday the 28th right through to Monday the 7th of September, it’s nearly all cross-onshore and choppy. Don’t get me wrong, there’s swell around – the ENE puff gives us waist-to-chest high waves and the combined energy is mostly moderate, bouncing around (155 to 245 units). But the surface is just messy. Not worth paddling out for a fight with the wind.
The water temp is sitting at a nice 78°, which is about average for this time of year, so you don't need a thick suit.
There is a flicker of hope. On Thursday the 3rd of September, the wind finally clocks around to the SSW. For the afternoon session, we get a clean, cross-off breeze with 4ft of E swell. The combined energy is moderate (249 units). It’s not a massive day, but after a week of rubbish, that clean face will feel like gold. That’s your best bet for a proper surf in the first week.
After that, it gets quiet again. Saturday the 5th of September morning shows a glassy 3ft, but the energy is weak (100 units). Then we hit a real flat patch from Sunday the 6th right through to Tuesday the 8th of September with tiny, weak swell and poor winds.
Looking at the second week, there are a couple of long-range whispers. The morning of Thursday the 10th of September sees a pulse of 4ft NE swell with light cross-shore wind. The energy jumps to 276, so it has a bit more punch. It’s worth keeping an eye on, but it’s a wait-and-see. The stand-out in the second week is the morning of Friday the 11th of September. The swell bumps up to 5ft from the NE, and with offshore E wind, it could clean up nicely. The combined energy hits a strong 403 units, so it’ll have some push. For a beginner spot, 5ft is getting towards the top end of comfortable, so it’ll be a bit more challenging. If that wind holds, that Friday morning session is the one to circle on the calendar.
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.
