Table - best surf conditions forecast for Jardim Atlantico over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what’s cookin’ for the next couple of weeks around Jardim Atlantico.
Right off the bat, it’s a quiet start. The first few days are a bit of a struggle. Thursday the 9th kicks off with glassy conditions and a tiny 1 ft groundswell from the SE (13 seconds), but the energy is weak (100). It’s surfable, but just barely. That pretty much sets the tone for the next week and a half – we’re talking small, weak swell and a lot of average to poor conditions. The wind switches around, mostly onshore or cross-onshore, making things choppy. There’s a little glimmer on Saturday morning the 11th with a clean, cross-offshore breeze and a 2 ft SE swell, but it’s still nothing to write home about.
Honestly, the first week is a bit of a write-off for anyone wanting a proper session. The water temp is about average for the time of year, so nothing wild there.
Now, hold onto your board, because things start to change around the 20th. Monday the 20th morning we get a glassy 4 ft easterly swell, but it’s short-period (7 seconds) and the energy is only moderate (199). Not the best. But the real standouts are the mornings of the 21st, 22nd, and especially the 23rd.
The best on offer is Thursday morning, July 23rd. That’s the one to circle. We’re looking at 7 ft of east swell, with a period of 8 seconds, pumping through. The combined energy is strong (849). The wind is a dead calm – completely glassy. This is as good as it gets for Jardim Atlantico in this window. The waves will have some push, but at 7 ft, it’s getting into expert territory, so if you’re a beginner, give it a miss. The swell direction (E) isn’t a perfect match for the optimum (ESE), but with that energy and glass, it’s still going to be a ripper. Expect crowds as it’s a fairly consistent spot and this is the peak.
Tuesday morning the 21st and Wednesday morning the 22nd are also very solid, with 5 ft and 6 ft east swell respectively, both glassy. They’re not quite as powerful as the 23rd, but they’re still great surfs. The Tuesday morning swell has moderate energy (299), and Wednesday is a bit stronger (385).
After that, Friday the 24th morning drops off a little with a cross-onshore wind, so the window closes. Get out there on those mornings if you can.
Rusty, signing off.

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.
