The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get into it. Jardim Atlantico is the only spot on the radar here, and it’s a real rollercoaster. Water temp is about 78°F, which is pretty normal for the season.
Sunday the 19th is a dud. Cross-on wind, choppy, with 5 to 5ft of short-period east swell, combined energy around 334 (moderate). Not worth your time.
But Monday the 20th morning flips the script. Swell drops to 5ft from the east, still short period at 8 seconds, but the wind goes glassy. That’s going to give you clean, friendly waves. Combined energy 258 (moderate). This is a sweet spot for beginners. The afternoon turns onshore and messy, so hit it early.
Tuesday the 21st morning is another glassy gem with 5ft east swell and 297 combined energy. Best of the early week, right here. Again, the afternoon goes onshore, so dawn patrol is the move.
Wednesday the 22nd morning is the standout. Glassy, 5ft east swell, combined energy 356 (moderate to strong). This is the one to circle. The size is getting into the territory where beginners might feel it, but if you’re good on a 5ft wave, this is the session.
From Thursday the 23rd, the swell starts to fade. Thursday morning is glassy but only 4ft, combined energy 190 – just ordinary. Friday the 24th morning is glassy too, but down to 3ft and 132 energy – weak. The rest of that week into the next is a slow slide into tiny, weak waves with cross or cross-on winds, combined energy dropping into the double digits. Thursday the 30th and Friday the 31st mornings have glassy conditions but the swell is tiny, 2 to 3ft, very short period, just not happening.
There’s a gap of a few days with no real recommendation until the very end. On Sunday the 2nd of August, there’s a glassy morning with 3ft swell from the southeast, combined energy 206 (moderate), but it’s small. The real long-range standout is Monday the 3rd of August morning: glassy, 5ft from the east-southeast, combined energy 383 (strong). That’s promising, but it’s over a week out, so keep it on the radar.
Best bet overall is the Wednesday the 22nd morning glassy session. The second week is mostly small and weak, with one possible bright spot on the 3rd of August if you’re willing to wait.

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.
