The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let's talk about Praia de Jaguaribe in terms a little more familiar if you think in feet and knots.
Honestly, the first week and a half is a bit of a bust. We're looking at a lot of small, weak swell with messy wind for most of it. The combined energy is low – mostly in the weak range – meaning there's not much punch behind the waves. Water temp is around 79°, so pretty standard for the season.
The one bright spot that might just make it all worthwhile is the morning of Saturday, August 15th. That's the one to mark on the calendar. Early that morning, the wind goes glassy – a dead calm from the south. That'll leave the surface like a mirror. The swell is from the ESE at about 3 feet, but the period jumps to a long 14 seconds. That's proper groundswell juice, and with that long interval, the waves will have some real shape and power (combined energy hits 399). For a spot like this, it might be best on a point or reef as a beach break can get a bit straight with that long period. It's a clean, inviting setup. Just know that this break can draw a crowd when it's looking good.
The rest of the 16 days is pretty ordinary. That afternoon the wind turns onshore and strong, and the following week is a mess of strong SE winds and rain, with raw, choppy conditions. There's a long run of no-good after that one session.
So, if you're waiting for a window, that Saturday the 15th morning is your only real bet. Get out there early.
Rusty.

Information about the Praia de Jaguaribe Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Praia de Jaguaribe provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Praia de Jaguaribe can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Praia de Jaguaribe 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 (Praia de Jaguaribe) 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 Praia de Jaguaribe 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.
