The Lowdown
Right, let’s have a look at what’s on offer for our stretch of coast here around Jardim Atlantico.
Honestly, mate, I’ve gotta be straight with you – the outlook for the next 16 days is pretty grim. The finder is showing zero recommendations across the whole period, so we’re in for a stretch of poor surf conditions. It’s not unusual for this area to have a blank run like this, but that doesn’t make it any easier to swallow.
The water temp is sitting at 79°, which is about 2° warmer than the long-term average. That’s a bit noticeable but not a freak event.
The biggest issue is the wind. For almost every day, we’ve got a cross-onshore or onshore breeze, mostly from the ENE or NE at 6 to 12 mph. That’s going to put a chop on everything. There are a couple of fleeting moments – like Thursday 17th September morning, with an onshore wind from the east at just 3 mph, and Thursday 24th September morning with a long period 11-second swell from the east – but even then the combined wave energy is weak and the conditions are still marked as poor.
Swell heights barely poke above 4 ft, and the periods are mostly short, around 6 to 8 seconds, so no real punch or shape to them. The combined wave energy values are all under 400, with most sitting in the low two-digit or three-digit range, so it’s all weak to moderate at best. The one standout reading is Saturday 26th September morning, where the energy jumps to 376 with a 5 ft swell from the NE, but with a 7-second period and onshore wind, it’s just a messy, weak chunk of water.
There’s no point trying to pick a winner here. No clean windows, no decent swell, and no real hope for a classic session. If you’re desperate for a paddle, the best you’ll get is a small, bumpy wave at Jardim Atlantico, but don’t expect a quality ride.
Signing off, 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.
