The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again, looking at the next couple of weeks for Praia Tenório. Gonna be a lot of waiting before we get the green light.
The first few days are flat or messy. The first real chance for a surf comes Wednesday the 2nd, but it’s only a small 4ft south swell, and the wind’s not helping. Most of the first week is onshore, choppy, or just very small. The combined wave energy stays weak to moderate, between 175 and 244, but the wind direction kills it. Water temp is pretty average for the time of year.
We’ve got a long stretch of poor to marginal conditions all the way through the weekend and into the next week. The wind stays onshore or cross-onshore, and it’s just not worth paddling out.
The payoff comes at the end. Tuesday the 15th is your day. That morning brings a 5ft SE swell with an 8-second period and dead calm wind – glassy, clean, beautiful. The wave energy hits 516 (moderate). But Tuesday afternoon is even better: 6ft from the SE, glassy again, and the energy jumps to 675. Wednesday morning hangs in there with another 6ft SE swell, glassy, and energy at 719. This is proper surf for the experienced crew. Wednesday afternoon stays clean with 6ft from the SE. The wind barely blows at all, so the waves will have a smooth face. With the period around 8-10 seconds, it’ll be punchy but not real drawn out.
There is a morning on Thursday the 10th with a tiny 3ft SSE swell, long 13-second period, and glassy conditions, but the energy is only 255, so it’s pretty weak.
Hang tight. The end of the forecast window is where the magic is.
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.
