The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the table for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, the outlook is a bit of a flat spell for the most part. We've got Jardim Atlantico as the only spot on the radar, and it's a real mixed bag. The water temperature is sitting right around average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
The first real highlight doesn't come until late in the period. We've got a lot of days with small, weak, and messy surf. The combined swell energy is mostly in the low to moderate range, often under 200 (130), and with short periods, the waves lack punch. The winds are a constant issue, mostly onshore or cross-onshore, keeping things chopped up.
The one standout to circle on your calendar is Monday morning, 31 August. The winds go glassy, and we see a clean 5ft swell from the ENE. The combined energy bumps up to 240 (moderate), and with the glassy conditions, it's going to be the cleanest the waves will look all forecast. The swell direction is a good match for the spot's optimum, and it's a beginner-friendly break, so it'll be a fun, easy session for everyone. But keep in mind, it's a long way out, so the details could shift.
After that, the forecast drops back into average conditions with onshore winds and marginal surf. The second week is pretty quiet overall, with nothing else really jumping out.
So, for the next couple of weeks, it's a waiting game. The best bet is that Monday morning, 31 August. If you're keen, keep an eye on the forecast as we get closer.
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.
