Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s break down the same outlook for Praia Tenório, but in feet and knots.
The first couple of days are dead flat – barely a ripple. The first real chance to get wet is Saturday, July 11th.
That morning is the standout. A clean 4ft southeast swell, period 13 seconds – that’s proper groundswell with good energy. The wind is light offshore out of the north-northwest, so the waves will be glassy and clean. The combined energy is moderate (444). Being a beginner-plus spot, this size is perfect for learning, and it’s fairly consistent. Crowds are only sometimes a problem, so you should get a few waves to yourself. Water temp is about average for the season.
Sunday, July 12th is a dud. The morning has a messy cross-onshore breeze and tiny 2ft waves, and the afternoon goes onshore with 3ft – not worth it.
Monday, July 13th morning offers a 3ft south-southeast swell with a 11-second period and light offshore north wind. The combined energy is moderate (319). It’s clean, but the swell is smaller and the period shorter than Saturday – a decent fallback.
Wednesday, July 15th morning has a 4ft southeast swell with light cross-offshore wind, but the period is only 10 seconds – it’s okay, but the waves might lack punch.
From Thursday, July 16th onward, the surf fades completely. Swells drop to 2ft and below, with long periods but no height. From July 18th through the end of the 16-day window, it’s tiny – 0.3ft to 1ft – barely breaking. Energy readings are in the single digits or low teens. Nothing to plan a session around.
So, the bottom line: Saturday morning, July 11th, is your one real shot. After that, it’s a long wait. Forecasts can change, but for now, it’s a one-day wonder.
Rusty.

Information about the Praia Tenório Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Praia Tenório provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Praia Tenório can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Praia Tenório 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 Tenório) 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 Tenório 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.
Praia Tenório is 4 km (2 miles) from the city of Ubatuba. If you plan a holiday in São Paulo, look for hotels and other accommodation in Ubatuba. Ubatuba has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
