The Lowdown
Alright, grab a coffee and listen up. It’s Rusty here.
Right now, the surf is a bit of a struggle. For the first few days, we’ve got small, weak swell that’s mostly under 3 ft, and the wind is fighting us. It’s not looking great for a proper paddle. There’s a long gap of poor conditions from the start, with only a few windows of glassy but tiny waves. Then, around Monday the 3rd of August, things start to look a little more promising.
The standout period is from Monday afternoon the 3rd of August through to Tuesday the 4th of August. The real highlight is Praia Tenório on Monday morning the 3rd of August. The swell is small at 2 ft, but it’s a long-period groundswell of 15 seconds coming from the SSE, and the combined energy is strong at 242 (moderate). The wind is glassy, dead calm, so it’ll be clean. This is a fairly consistent spot, but it’s also a beginner-plus wave, so it’s a good option for a fun, easy session. The water temperature is a notable 71°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year.
Another good window is Tuesday the 4th of August. The morning has 3 ft swell from the S at 12 seconds, with glassy conditions and combined energy of 228 (moderate). The afternoon is the same size, also glassy, and a bit smaller at 201 (moderate). The swell direction is S, which is the optimum direction for this spot. Crowds are possible here, so keep that in mind.
After that, the swell drops back down, and we’re back to small, weak waves below 2 ft through to the end of the forecast. The 8th of August has a brief spike of 4 ft but it’s a short-period windswell from the SW at only 5 seconds, which won’t deliver much quality.
Overall, the best bet is the first week of August. It’s not a massive swell, but it’s clean and lined up. Don’t expect much else.
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.
