Praia Tenório Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let’s talk about the Ubatuba region, just looking at Praia Tenório.

Right now, it’s a bit slow. We have some south swell running about 5ft, with a 13-second period – that's a solid groundswell. There's a good amount of juice in the water (862 energy). But today, Saturday the 4th, the wind is coming out of the south, onshore, making it pretty junky. The water is a touch warmer than normal at 73°, which is a nice bonus. Still, this afternoon is just marginal.

Sunday the 5th is more of the same. The swell holds around 5ft, but we’ve got cross-onshore winds and clouds. It just can't clean up.

Alright, here’s the one you’ve been waiting for: Monday the 6th morning. This is the standout. The swell drops a little to a clean 4ft from the south, period at 11 seconds. But the big story is glassy conditions. Zero wind. This is when Praia Tenório (Ubatuba) is at its best. The morning is going to be smooth, clean waves perfect for a beginner-plus surfer. The energy is moderate (412), but the quality will make it feel way better. This is your window.

From Tuesday the 7th through Friday the 10th, we hit a flat spell. The swell drops to around 2ft or less. There are glassy mornings, but there’s just no wave. This dry spell lasts four days.

We get a little bump on Saturday the 11th morning – 4ft from the southeast with a long 13-second period and glassy conditions. Worth a look, but it fades fast by the afternoon.

Sunday the 12th afternoon shows another small pulse. A 3ft swell from the southeast with a 12-second period, and glassy again. Energy is moderate (454). Not big, but clean.

After that, the second week is mostly flat. Monday the 13th morning is glassy with a small 3ft swell. Then it gets tiny until the 16th. On Thursday the 16th afternoon, a short-period wind swell comes in at 4ft, but with only a 6-second period and onshore wind, it’s going to be a messy, choppy mess.

We get a bigger push of swell from the south on Friday the 17th, hitting 6ft. But the wind is straight onshore and blowing 9 mph. The energy is moderate (489), but that wind is going to ruin it. This is one for the experts only, or honestly, it’s looking better for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer.

So to sum it up: Monday the 6th morning is your day. Get out there for the glass and the clean 4ft south swell. The rest of the outlook is either too small, too windy, or flat.

Rusty.
