The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s chew through this forecast, no sugar-coating.
First off, the next week is a bust. From Thursday, August 27th, right through to the end of the month, it’s a whole lot of nothing good. Early Thursday morning at Jardim Atlantico we’ve got a tiny 3ft east swell, but it’s glassy – dead calm, clean as a whistle. Water temp is 78°, dead normal for the season. The energy is weak, only about 120, so you’re not getting much push. It’s surfable, but only just.
After that, a long stretch of poor, choppy, cross-onshore junk. Days of it. Then on Tuesday, September 1st, the swell bumps up to 6ft out of the east-northeast, with energy jumping to a solid 746. That’s the biggest we see, but the wind is cross-shore and there’s a risk of thunderstorms. For a beach break, that cross wind and lumpy sea makes for a messy session. Not a standout.
The real gem, and the only one worth circling on the calendar, is Friday morning, September 4th. Swell around 4ft from the east-southeast – right on the money for this spot. Wind goes light cross-offshore from the south, and it’s reported as clean. Energy sits at a moderate 197. The break is fairly consistent, but you might see a few other folks out (“sometimes” for crowds). At that size, it’s a good wave for beginners too.
After that, it’s back to onshore chop, building wind, and weak swell. By the second week of September, the waves drop to nothing – periods as low as 6 seconds, energy in the toilet. Not worth the drive.
So, bottom line: if you’ve got one session to chase, make it that Friday morning, September 4th. Clean, lined up, and your best bet by a long shot. The rest? Leave it.
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.

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.
