The Lowdown
Alright, mate, let’s have a look at what Praia Tenório is offering up in feet and miles per hour.
Right off the bat, the first few days are a write-off. Tuesday the 1st and Wednesday the 2nd are tiny and messy. The swell is only about 2 feet with weak energy (around 56 to 60 combined energy of all swells directed here) and the wind is cross-on or cross. Not worth getting wet.
We get a glimmer on Wednesday afternoon the 2nd of September. The swell jumps to around 4 feet from the SSW, and the wind drops to glassy – dead calm. That’s a major positive. The period is 9 seconds, and the combined energy is 257 (moderate wave energy). It’s surfable, but nothing to write home about.
The next good window is Friday the 4th of September. Swell is about 3 feet from the SSE, with a longer 11-second period. On Friday morning, the wind is calm, glassy. Combined energy is 189 (moderate wave energy). That’s clean, small, and the longer period will give the waves a bit more shape. That’s the pick of the first week.
Saturday the 5th drops to tiny 1 feet junk. Then Sunday the 6th gets a bump back to around 4 feet, but the wind is onshore and strong – poor conditions.
Monday the 7th sees a bigger pulse: 6 feet from the SSE, period 11 seconds, and combined energy at 793 (strong wave energy). That’s a solid swell size, but the wind is light cross-onshore and the forecast says marginal. That’s getting too big for beginners, and the onshore breeze will chop it up.
The middle of the second week is tiny again, with swell barely 1 foot through to Saturday the 12th.
Then on Sunday the 13th of September, another pulse: 5 feet from the S, period 13 seconds, combined energy at 825 (strong wave energy). But the wind is onshore – that’s a kite surfer’s setup, not a paddle surfer’s.
Monday the 14th is the biggest: 7 feet from the SSE, period 13 seconds, combined energy roaring to 1551 (very strong wave energy). The wind is cross-onshore at 12 mph. That’s expert-only, big and choppy.
The standout of the whole 16 days? Tuesday the 15th of September. The swell drops to a clean 4 feet from the SSE, period 12 seconds, and the wind goes glassy, dead calm. Combined energy is 377 (moderate wave energy). The forecast actually says “expect good surf conditions.” That’s your day – clean, with that long period putting some real push into the waves. Just keep in mind crowds are possible here sometimes.
So, sit tight through the junk days, and aim for Friday the 4th or Tuesday the 15th. That’s where it’s at.

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.
