Tetitlan Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cooking for the next couple of weeks.

We’ve got a solid pulse of swell coming in, but it’s not for everyone. The first few days are the real deal, especially for experienced surfers. The pattern starts strong and then slowly fades away, with a few windows of opportunity for the patient.

The standout session is the Sunday morning, July 26th at Tetitlan. You’re looking at a clean 5 ft swell from the southwest with a very long period of 18 seconds. That’s proper groundswell energy. The wind is glassy out of the north at 3 mph, so the surface will be like a mirror. The combined energy is a hefty 1912 (moderate-to-strong), meaning it’ll have plenty of push. This is a spot that’s exposed to the southwest, so it’s going to be handling it well. Keep in mind, this break is an advanced, inconsistent reef, so don’t expect it to be every day. With the long period, it might be a bit too straight for a beach break, but on a reef like this, that’s a good thing. Expect crowds, as it’s a popular spot when it’s on.

The other morning that’s worth setting an alarm for is Monday, July 27th. Again, glassy conditions with a north-northeast breeze at 3 mph, and a slightly bigger 6 ft swell from the southwest at 17 seconds. The combined energy jumps to 2078 (very strong). This is expert territory at that size, but if you’ve got the skills, the morning will be epic.

Tuesday, July 28th morning also holds up well. You’ll see 7 ft of swell from the south-southwest, with a period of 17 seconds and a clean cross-offshore breeze from the east-northeast at 3 mph. The energy is a massive 2562 (very strong). That’s big, powerful surf. Only for the very experienced, but it’s a true standout.

After that, the afternoons get choppy with cross-onshore winds, so mornings are your only real window. The swell slowly drops. Thursday, July 30th morning still has a decent 5 ft from the south-southwest at 14 seconds, with glassy conditions, but the energy is dropping to 977 (moderate). It’s still clean, but not as punchy.

By Friday, July 31st and Saturday, August 1st, the swell is down to 4 ft and 3 ft respectively. Still glassy in the mornings, but the energy is getting weak. From August 2nd onward, it’s a long stretch of small, weak surf. There’s a gap of about five days with nothing special. The morning of Monday, August 10th shows a bit of a pulse with 2 ft of southwest swell at 17 seconds and glassy wind, but that’s still a long way out and the combined energy is only 640 (moderate). It’s a glimmer, but not a guarantee.

Water temp is about average for this time of year, so no weird anomalies to worry about.

Rusty.
