The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s break down Jardim Atlantico for the next couple of weeks.
Water temp is 78°, right on the money for this time of year – nothing unusual.
The first few days are a struggle. Friday the 24th has a small 3ft easterly swell, and the morning is glassy, which is a nice window. The wave energy is weak (128), and the period is only 8 seconds, so it’s a short, weak wave. That Friday morning is the only time the wind is truly calm, and the swell is okay for beginners. After that, the wind swings onshore and the quality tanks.
Saturday the 25th starts glassy with a smaller 3ft easterly swell, but the energy is very weak (73). It’s surfable, barely. The afternoon goes onshore and that’s it.
From Sunday the 26th through Wednesday the 30th, it’s a flat, choppy mess. Swell stays under 3ft, period is short, and the wind is mostly cross or onshore. Thursday the 30th morning has a clean cross-offshore breeze, but it’s only 2ft with a 6-second period – a limp wave (50 energy). Not worth it.
There’s a gap in quality until Sunday the 2nd of August. That morning brings 4ft easterly swell with moderate energy (263), but the wind is cross-shore, so it’s a bit messy. Still, it’s the first sign of life.
The best day is Monday the 3rd of August. We’ve got 4ft easterly swell, and the morning is glassy – dead calm. The energy is moderate (215), and the period is 8 seconds. The wind is perfect, so expect clean, clean waves. This is the one to circle. It’s a fun size for everyone.
After that, the swell builds. Tuesday the 4th has 4ft but cross-shore wind, so it’s not as clean. Wednesday the 5th jumps to 5ft from the ESE, but the wind is cross-onshore and choppy. The energy is strong (440), but the wind kills it. This is more of a kite surfing day than a paddle day.
The last few days, from Thursday the 6th to Saturday the 8th, are all onshore wind and mediocre conditions. Swell stays 4ft to 5ft, but the wind is never clean. Friday the 7th morning has a glassy moment with 4ft, but it’s weak energy (153) and the afternoon turns onshore again.
So, bottom line: the only real standout is Monday morning, the 3rd of August. Get out there early, the water’s warm, the wind is glassy, and the swell is a fun 4ft. The rest is a waiting game.
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.
