The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again, giving you the local picture for Praia Tenório.
The water’s about normal temp for this time of year. Nothing weird going on there. The first handful of days are a flat spell with hardly any push, but we’ve got some life later on.
We’re starting off on Wednesday the 5th of August with tiny 0.7m, 12-second South swell. The swell energy is weak (132). The morning is glassy though, so it’s clean, just small. By Thursday the 6th, it drops to 0.5m, energy down to 60. Barely moving. Friday the 7th is pretty much a zero.
Saturday the 8th gets a pulse. Morning swell is 0.9m, but the wind is cross and messy. That afternoon, the wave height jumps to 1.7m from the SSE, with a big energy spike (1026). That’s a lot of power, but reports say it’s marginal with cross-shore winds. The wave size is getting up there for the average surfer.
Sunday the 9th and Monday the 10th, the swell settles at about 1.2m from the South. Monday morning, the 10th, is a solid bet. Glassy conditions, combined energy of 404, and a clean 1.2m SSE swell. Good for a beginner-plus level, nice and clean.
The real standout is Thursday the 14th of August. The morning session has a 1.6m swell from the SSE, a 14-second period, and the energy is at 1104. Glassy wind. That’s the best day of the forecast. The long period means more power and longer waits between sets, but the shape will be there. A bit much for beginners, but for everyone else, it’s the one.
After that, Saturday the 16th morning is a clean 0.9m SSE with cross-off wind, but the power has dropped. Then there’s another quiet stretch from Sunday the 17th to Tuesday the 19th, before a final pulse on Wednesday the 19th of August – 1.5m South swell (467 energy) with glassy wind again, but that’s much further out.
Bottom line: the first few days are a wash. Aim for Monday the 10th morning for a clean, small session. The big winner is the morning of Thursday the 14th of August. Mark it down.
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.
