The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again, but this time in feet and miles for you. Tetitlan is an advanced, inconsistent spot, but there’s a good run of clean surf in the 16-day window, so let’s break it down.
First real action is Friday, August 28th. Water temp is a warm 88°, a touch warmer than average for the time of year. Friday morning brings a 5ft SW groundswell with a long 16-second period. Combined energy is 1085 (moderate). Wind is light from the NE at 3 mph, making for clean, cross-off conditions. Excellent for experienced surfers. That afternoon, the swell builds to 5ft from the SW, period 18 seconds, energy 1636. Wind shifts to NW at 9 mph, still cross-off, so it stays clean.
Saturday, August 29th morning is a real winner. 6ft SW swell, 16-second period, energy 1592. Wind goes glassy from the WNW at just 3 mph. Perfect, clean, powerful waves for the advanced crew. Afternoon gets lumpy with onshore wind, so paddle out early.
Sunday the 30th and Monday the 31st see the swell drop to 5ft and then 4ft, but mornings stay clean with light winds. Energy drops to 919 and 563. Still fun, just mellower.
Tuesday, September 1st is tiny at 3ft, but glassy with zero wind. Good for a longboard.
The next real standout is Thursday, September 3rd morning. 4ft SW swell with a very long 18-second period, energy 1127. Glassy conditions with light wind. Clean, well-formed waves, though that long period might make it a bit straight for some spots.
But the big one is Friday, September 4th morning. Swell hits 6ft from the SSW, period 17 seconds, combined energy at a strong 1983. Wind is glassy from the NE. This is powerful, clean, and for experts only at that size. Get on it before the afternoon onshore wind.
Saturday, September 5th also has a glassy morning with 5ft SSW swell, 16-second period, energy 1278. Another excellent session.
Into the second week, mornings stay clean. Sunday the 6th to Monday the 7th is smaller (4ft to 4ft). Tuesday the 8th brings a surprise: 6ft SW swell with a shorter 12-second period, but glassy. That’s a fun set. The rest of the week holds clean, glassy mornings with moderate energy right through to Saturday the 12th, though swell stays on the smaller side.
No real gaps—every morning has something rideable. Crowds are listed as "sometimes," so expect a few heads but nothing wild.
Best of the run? Friday, August 28th morning for the combo of moderate energy and clean conditions. And Friday, September 4th morning for the biggest, most powerful swell with glassy wind. Those are your two must-paddle sessions.

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.
