The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s check Jardim Atlantico over the next couple of weeks. Gotta level with you – it’s a pretty flat, messy run overall. Don’t rush.
First few days? Forget it. The earliest you might bother is Friday morning, 14th August. Swell is a tiny 3 ft from the east, period a short 8 seconds, and combined energy is moderate at 102. But the wind goes light offshore from the north, so it’ll be clean, just small. For a beginner, it’s a decent little window.
Saturday morning, 15th August, is another one to note. Swell still tiny at 2 ft from the east, period 9 seconds, energy 128 – but the wind goes glassy. Dead calm. That’s as clean as it gets, and for a beginner spot, that’s your best bet. Crowds are “sometimes” so you might have company, but you’ll have room.
From Saturday afternoon on, it gets rough. Sunday through to Thursday 21st is mostly onshore, weak slop. Energy drops as low as 77. Hard pass.
Next glimmer is Wednesday morning, 19th August – glassy again, 3 ft from the east, period 8 seconds, energy 128. Surfable but ordinary. Still, glassy is glassy.
Then a long break until Tuesday morning, 25th August. Swell picks up a bit to 4 ft from east-northeast, period 7 seconds, energy 218 – but it’s onshore and marginal. Not worth it.
Wednesday morning, 26th August is similar – 3 ft, east-northeast, period 7 seconds, energy 222 – again onshore and marginal.
Finally, Friday morning, 28th August, gives us glass again. 3 ft from east-northeast, period 8 seconds, energy 129. Clean, small.
The standout is Saturday morning, 15th August. Glassy, clean, and the east swell matches the break’s east-southeast sweet spot. Energy is moderate (128), crowds are only “sometimes,” so you can stretch out. It’s not a big wave day – 2 ft – but for a relaxed, glassy session on a beginner-friendly break, that’s the pick. Friday morning, 14th August with offshore wind is a close second.
Water temp is 79°, about average for the time of year, so you’re good in trunks.
Bottom line: a sleepy two weeks. A couple of glassy windows for the patient surfer, but nothing that’ll get your heart pumping.
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.
