The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here, givin' you the lowdown in feet and miles per hour.
Looking at Jardim Atlantico over the next couple of weeks, it’s a tale of two things: a whole lot of waiting, and one glassy morning that’s worth setting the alarm for.
The first big chunk of the forecast, call it eight to ten days, is mostly a bust. There’s a long stretch of poor surf with onshore wind. The one window that’s a true standout is Monday morning, August 3rd. The swell is a modest 4ft from the E, but the wind is glassy, coming out of the SE at just 3 mph. For a beginner-friendly spot like Jardim Atlantico (Portugal), that’s as clean as it gets. The water is a pleasant 79°, which is a touch warmer than average for this time of year. The wave energy is moderate (250), but it’s a short-period swell, so it’ll be a bit soft and crumbly. Still, for a beginner, glassy, clean 4ft waves are the best you’ll find.
After that, the wind turns onshore and the swell fades. We get a few mornings with glassy conditions, like Wednesday, August 5th, and Thursday, August 6th, but the swell is a pathetic 3ft and the energy is weak (around 153-185). You can paddle out, but you’ll be fighting for scraps.
The pattern stays poor right through the second week. The wind is mostly cross-onshore, and the swell is small. There’s a bump in size around the 14th and 15th of August, with swell hitting 5ft to 7ft from the ESE/SE, and moderate energy (289-710). But the wind is howling cross-shore to cross-onshore at 12-15 mph, turning it into a choppy, blown-out mess. At 7ft, it’s expert-only territory, but with that wind, you’d be better off getting a kite. It’s a long, dry run, but that’s the way it goes sometimes. Forecasts can change, so keep your fingers crossed.
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.
