The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what’s shaping up for Praia Tenório.
It’s a bit of a slow start, but the pattern shows a few windows of clean surf, especially as the groundswell starts to fill in. The water is running at 72° with an anomaly of 3° warmer than normal, which is pretty unusual for this time of year.
The standout here is the morning of Monday, 10 August. We’re looking at a clean, glassy 5ft swell from the south with a 12-second period, producing moderate wave energy (466). That’s the pick of the first week – clean, pushy, and not too crowded, though you might see a few others out there.
The next real highlight hits on the morning of Friday, 14 August. That’s a 3ft south-southeast swell, but with a 13-second period and glassy conditions, it’s going to be clean and fun. The energy is solid (630), and the offshore wind setup will keep the faces nice. That’s a proper session.
Then we’ve got a promising one out in the second week. On the morning of Wednesday, 19 August, the swell jumps to 5ft from the south with a long 14-second period, and it’s glassy. The combined energy is strong (1032), so expect some real push. The wind is calm, so it should be clean. That’s a big one, but it’s a long way out – keep an eye on it.
The other days are mostly ordinary or poor. There’s a gap of poor conditions from the 6th to the 9th, and again from the 12th to the 13th. The afternoon of Tuesday, 18 August, is a dead loss. But the 10th, 11th, 14th, and 19th all have mornings that are worth a paddle.
Praia Tenório is a beginner-plus spot, fairly consistent, and fairly exposed to the south swell. The optimum swell direction is from the south, and most of the good swells are coming from that direction, so it’s lining up well.
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.
