Tetitlan Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let’s get into it. We’re looking at Tetitlan, a spot that’s inconsistent but when it turns on, it’s for the advanced crew. The water’s a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, sitting at 88°, which is a nice little bonus.

The first decent window kicks off Monday morning, August 31st. It’s a bit cloudy with a light cross-off breeze from the NW at 6 mph, and we’ve got a 4ft SW groundswell (13 seconds) pushing in. The combined energy is moderate at 475. It’s not huge, but it’s clean and surfable for the experienced.

Tuesday morning, September 1st, is a real treat. Glassy conditions with some clouds, the wind is almost nothing out of the WNW at 3 mph. The swell drops slightly to 3ft but it’s from the SSW, still a 13-second groundswell, and the energy bumps up to 532. Expect very clean, lined-up waves. This is a solid session if you can get out.

Then we get a real standout. Thursday morning, September 3rd, is the pick of the whole forecast. Clear skies, a glassy offshore from the ESE at 3 mph, and a 4ft SW groundswell with a very long 18-second period. The combined energy jumps to 1330 – that’s strong. This is a long-period groundswell, so it’s going to wrap in nicely here at Tetitlan, but it might be a bit straight for beach breaks. For this reef/point setup, it’s going to be excellent. The waves will have real power, but the sets will be spaced out, making the paddle out a bit easier. This is for the advanced crew only.

Friday morning, September 4th, is still chunky with a 6ft SW groundswell (17 seconds), but the wind is a cross-shore from the ESE at 3 mph. The energy is very strong at 1971, but it’s a bit more mixed. It’s surfable, but Thursday morning is the clear winner.

Saturday morning, September 5th, is another glassy morning with the wind from the E at 3 mph, a 6ft SSW groundswell (16 seconds), and strong energy at 1524. This is another excellent session for experienced surfers, with clean conditions.

Sunday morning, September 6th, keeps the good run going. Glassy, calm wind, 5ft SSW groundswell (15 seconds), and strong energy at 1038. Another excellent morning.

As we move into the second week, the swell starts to back off a bit. Monday morning, September 7th, is still clean with a glassy NNE breeze, 4ft SSW groundswell (14 seconds), and moderate energy at 665. Good, but not as special.

The mornings of Tuesday, September 8th, and Wednesday, September 9th, are still glassy with 3ft and 3ft SW groundswells, but the energy drops to the 500-600 range. It’s clean, small, and fun for the more experienced surfer.

The standout remains Thursday morning, September 3rd, with the 4ft, 18-second period groundswell and glassy offshore winds. That’s the one to circle on the calendar.
