Jardim Atlantico Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s see what’s cooking for Jardim Atlantico over the next couple of weeks.

Right off the bat, we’ve got a bit of a slow start. The first few days are looking pretty ordinary. We’ve got some small waves, but nothing to get excited about just yet. The water is sitting at 78°, which is pretty much what you’d expect for this time of year, so no surprises there.

Thursday morning the 23rd sees a tiny 4ft east swell with a short 8-second period. The energy is weak, coming in at 190, and while the wind is glassy and offshore from the west, the waves are just too weak to be any good. By the afternoon, the wind swings onshore and it’s a write-off.

Friday the 24th and Saturday the 25th are more of the same. Small, weak, and messy. The swell drops to 3ft by Saturday, and the energy barely registers at 73. The early glass on Saturday morning is a tease, but the waves just aren’t there.

Sunday the 26th through to Wednesday the 30th are a real grind. The swell hangs around 3ft, period is a short 7 seconds, and the energy is super low, mostly in the 50s. There are a few moments of glassy conditions, like Monday morning the 27th with dead calm air, and Wednesday morning the 29th with a light NE breeze, but the waves are so small it’s barely worth paddling out.

We finally get a bit of a pulse kicking in around Friday the 31st. The morning session sees a cleaner 3ft east swell with a light cross-offshore wind. The energy is still low at 86, but it’s a step up.

Saturday the 1st of August and Sunday the 2nd of August look like the best of the bunch in this forecast. Saturday morning, the swell bumps up to 4ft from the east, period stretches to 8 seconds, and the energy jumps to a moderate 174. The wind is glassy from the northwest. Sunday morning is a repeat, with 4ft east swell, 8-second period, and a light northerly glass. The combined energy is 162. These are the standouts for the whole outlook. The waves are small but clean, and the conditions will be fun for a beginner-friendly spot like this.

From Monday the 3rd onwards, the swell tries to build, hitting 5ft from the east, but the wind is a mess. It’s cross-on or onshore for most of the afternoons, and the mornings are only marginal. The energy is moderate, up in the 230s and 280s, but the wind and rain showers ruin the quality.

Thursday the 6th of August offers a glimmer. The morning shows 4ft east swell with glassy conditions and a light NE wind. The energy is moderate at 232, and the forecast actually says “expect good surf conditions.” That’s the only real positive note in the second week, but it’s a single morning window.

Overall, the pick of the week is the Saturday 1st and Sunday 2nd of August mornings. Small, clean, glassy, and the best waves on offer. Don’t get your hopes up for the rest of it.

Rusty.
