The Lowdown
Rusty here again, same story in feet and knots for you.
It’s a pretty bleak run for Jardim Atlantico. Most of the next ten days are a bust. The first chance of anything half-decent is Sunday the 30th of August, and even that’s just a morning window. The water’s about 78° – pretty normal for the season.
Tuesday the 25th is a total flop. Only 1ft of SSE swell, weak energy (150), and the wind is onshore. Don’t even look at it. Wednesday the 26th has a glassy morning with a 3ft E swell, but the period is short at 7 seconds and the report says “surfable but very ordinary”. The wind goes cross-on in the afternoon and ruins it. Thursday through Saturday the 29th are all cross-on breezes with small, weak swell. Not worth the walk.
Sunday the 30th of August morning is the one to circle. Glossy conditions, a 4ft E swell, and the energy jumps to 257 (moderate). It says “expect good surf conditions”. That’s your window. The break is exposed and will pick up that E swell clean. At 4ft it’s fine for all levels, even though it’s usually a beginner spot. Crowds are “sometimes” a thing, so expect a few heads out. That Sunday morning glass is the only call.
Sunday afternoon and Monday the 31st the wind turns cross-on, and it’s back to grovel. From Tuesday the 1st of September, the wind stays cross or cross-on. The swell builds to 6ft on the 2nd and 3rd, with strong energy readings (497 and 569), but the wind is strong and cross, making it choppy and messy. That’s kite-surfing territory, not paddle surfing. After the 4th of September it drops back down to small and weak right through to the 9th.
So, if you want a wave, you’ve got one shot: Sunday the 30th of August at dawn. Get there early for the glass. Everything else is a scratch.
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.
