The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for this stretch.
Alright, I gotta be straight with you – the next couple of weeks are lookin' pretty grim. The forecast is one long, sad story of cross-onshore winds and lumpy, chopped-up surf. There’s not a single standout session in the whole 16-day window. The only break on the radar is Pico Teneriffe, but it’s just not happening.
The trouble starts right away, Tuesday the 8th of September. We’ve got a 5ft easterly swell, but it’s short-period windswell at 7 seconds, and the wind is howling from the east at 18 mph. The water temp is 85°, which is about normal for this time of year, not that you’ll be in it long with that onshore mess. The combined swell energy is weak, sitting at 335, and it’s labeled “poor surf conditions.” The whole week stays locked in that pattern: swell bumps up to 6ft on Wednesday (energy hits 564 – still only moderate), but the wind is relentless, 18 mph cross-on from the east. It’s all short-period, junk.
The weekend doesn’t get any sweeter. Saturday the 12th, same story: 6ft swell, but only 7 seconds, and that east wind drops to 15 mph, but it’s still cross-on and making it choppy. The energy dips to 357. It’s all “poor surf conditions” or “poor surf conditions” – nobody’s putting a score on anything because there’s nothing to score.
The second week is a real flat-liner. From Monday the 14th, we’re dropping below 5ft, with wave heights between 2ft and 5ft, and periods are still a pathetic 6 to 8 seconds. The wind stays stubbornly cross-onshore, 12 to 18 mph. The combined energy is weak, mostly two-digit numbers like 91, 94, 86... it’s barely a ripple. Even the last few days, like the 22nd and 23rd, we see a little bump back to 5ft and 6ft, with periods hitting 8 seconds, and energy gets back into the low 300s. But it’s still the same onshore wind ruining it. The whole thing is a washout.
For a break that’s supposed to be consistent, this is a real bummer. With that much wind and short-period junk, this setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. Don’t bother waxing the board for a while. The forecasts can change, but right now, there’s just nothing to get excited about.
Rusty.

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