The Lowdown
Alright, crew. Rusty here with the Tetitlan rundown. The water's sitting at a balmy 88°F, so it's a touch warmer than usual for this time of year. The surf window is solid, but you gotta nail the mornings because the afternoons pretty much always get blown out.
Wednesday the 16th gets us started with clean 4ft SSW groundswell and a light cross-off breeze – energy is moderate at 949. Thursday the 17th is similar: 4ft, offshore wind from the NNE, and a clean 936 reading. That’s your early bird session.
Friday the 18th drops to 3ft but the wind goes glassy, super clean. Saturday the 19th is glassy again with 3ft. The real bell-ringer in the first week is Sunday the 20th morning. A long-period 4ft SW groundswell (19 seconds) with glassy conditions and strong energy at 1113. That’s excellent, clean, and punchy – for experienced surfers. Monday the 21st morning is another glassy gem with 4ft SW swell and 1052 energy.
Tuesday and Wednesday mornings hold at around 4ft clean. Then Wednesday the 23rd afternoon brings a spike to 6ft from the WSW with glassy winds – energy at 1017, but note the short 10-second period.
From the 24th to the 26th, mornings stay clean with 4ft to 5ft swells. The second week’s stand-out is Sunday the 27th morning. Glassy conditions, a solid 4ft SSW groundswell, and a beefy 1257 energy reading – that’s excellent for experienced surfers. The following days see a big swell pulse up to 8ft on Monday the 28th, but with ugly cross-shore winds – that’s expert only and messy. It drops from 6ft Tuesday into the 30th.
The final neat session is Wednesday the 30th morning: dead calm, glassy, 5ft W swell with 954 energy. Clean and punchy to finish.
If you’re picking one, hit Sunday the 20th morning for the long-period glass, or Sunday the 27th morning for the bigger, powerful glass. Get it while it’s clean.
Rusty.

Information about the Tetitlan Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Tetitlan provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Tetitlan can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Tetitlan 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 (Tetitlan) 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 Tetitlan 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.
Tetitlan is 15 km (9 miles) from the city of Atoyac de Alvarez. If you plan a holiday in Guerrero, look for hotels and other accommodation in Atoyac de Alvarez. Atoyac de Alvarez has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
