Table - best surf conditions forecast for Jardim Atlantico over the next 16 days.
G’day, Rusty here. Look, I’ve gotta be straight with you – this stretch isn’t exactly firing. We’ve got a long, quiet run ahead at Jardim Atlantico, with pretty much nothing worth paddling out for until we get into the second week.
The water’s sitting at 79°, which is about average for the time of year, so no dramas there.
The first real glimmer comes on Saturday morning, July 18th. It’s not a classic, but it’s the best we’ll see. The swell is a modest 4ft from the east, with a short period of 7 seconds, so it’s not going to be powerful. The combined energy is moderate (216). What makes it stand out is the wind: glassy. That’s rare in this outlook, and it’ll give you clean, wobbly little waves. The break is exposed to the ESE swell, but the direction is close enough. It’s a beginner spot, and crowds are sometimes an issue, but with conditions this ordinary, you might have it to yourself. It’s a small window, so if you’re keen, that’s your moment.
After that, it’s back to onshore and cross-shore winds, with the swell hanging around the 3ft to 4ft mark, but all looking messy. There’s a brief nod on the morning of Thursday, July 23rd, with a 3ft easterly swell and a cross-offshore breeze from the SSW, making it clean. The combined energy is weak (93), and the period is 8 seconds, so it’s just surfable but very ordinary. Not a standout.
Honestly, for the rest of the 16 days, it’s a whole lot of poor surf conditions and onshore chop. The swell is there, but the wind’s never your mate. The best thing I can say is that if you’re a beginner and you catch that glassy Saturday morning, you’ll get a few soft ones. Otherwise, it’s a long wait for something better.
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.
