The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty, and here’s how things are shaping up for Siriu over the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, the surf forecast is pretty flat. We’ve got a few small, weak pulses coming through, but honestly, the first week is a write-off. The water temp is sitting around 66°F with only a slight anomaly, so pretty normal for this time of year at Siriu.
The real standout here, and I mean the only one worth getting excited about, lands on Sunday the 23rd of August. The morning is looking glassy, with a solid 8ft swell out of the S, pushing moderate energy (934). That’s a good size – not beginner territory, but fine for anyone with a bit of experience. The clean conditions should make for some proper waves.
The day before, Saturday the 22nd, the morning has a clean cross-off breeze with a 4ft S swell, but the energy is only moderate (436). It’s a decent warm-up, but Sunday is clearly the pick.
After that, the swell drops back. Monday the 24th still has some size – 8ft S swell in the morning with clean cross-off wind and strong energy (2150) – but it's a bit of a beast. Over 8ft in the afternoon, so that’s expert-only territory. The following days drop off quickly, with some smaller S and SSE swells in the last week, but nothing that matches that Sunday session.
So, if you’re keen, circle Sunday the 23rd. Get on it early. Otherwise, it’s a lot of waiting around for not much.

Information about the Siriu Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Siriu provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Siriu can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Siriu 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 (Siriu) 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 Siriu 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.
Siriu is 27 km (17 miles) from Imbituba. If you plan a holiday in Santa Catarina - Sul, look for hotels and other accommodation in Imbituba. Imbituba has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
