Volta da Jurema Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer for Volta da Jurema over the next couple of weeks.

Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – this is a tough run. We’ve got a solid string of days with very little to get excited about. The surf is small, the period is short, and the wind is mostly cross or cross-off from the east and southeast. It’s not a total washout, but for the most part, you’re looking at weak, lumpy, and pretty average conditions.

The first real chance of anything half decent shows up on Tuesday morning, July 7th. That morning sees a 5 ft east swell with a 7-second period, and the wind is cross-off from the southeast. The water’s sitting at about 82°, which is pretty much normal for this time of year, so no surprises there. The combined energy is moderate at 261, but the short period means it’s going to be a bit fat and mushy. Still, it’s the cleanest session in the early run.

Wednesday morning on the 8th could be worth a look too. The swell pushes up a touch to 6 ft from the east, still with that short 6-second period, and the wind stays cross-off. There is a risk of thunderstorms though, so keep an eye on the sky. The combined energy sits at 251 – again, moderate. It’s not going to be world class, but for a reef break like Volta da Jurema, the shape might just be okay if you’re a beginner looking for something user-friendly.

Now, after that little blip, things drop right off again. From the 9th through to the 15th of July, it’s mostly small, weak swells in the 2 ft to 4 ft range, all short period, and the wind stays moderate. The combined energy is mostly in the weak to moderate zone, with numbers like 113, 179, and 163. Honestly, it’s pretty forgettable. If you’re desperate for a paddle, you might get something knee-high on the 12th or 13th, but don’t expect much.

Around Thursday the 16th, there’s a little bump. Morning swell is 5 ft from the east with a 6-second period, and combined energy gets back up to 210. It’s marginal but clean. The following Tuesday the 21st also has a similar shot – 5 ft east swell, 7-second period, combined energy 213, and cross-off winds. That’s probably your best bet in the second week, but it’s still a long way out, so treat that as a promising maybe.

Overall, this is a pretty quiet stretch. Volta da Jurema is consistent enough, but the conditions just aren’t lining up. If you’re a beginner, the 7th or 8th of July could be your window – small, clean, and manageable. For everyone else, you might be better off waiting for the next system to roll through.

Stay patient,
Rusty
