The Lowdown
Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let’s break down what we’ve got coming our way for Tetitlan. We’ve got a solid run of surf on the horizon, so let’s get straight into it.
First up, the pattern is building from a clean, fun weekend into a really promising run next weekend. The water is sitting at a warm 88°F, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so a shorty is all you’ll need.
The opening session is Sunday morning, the 16th. We’ve got a nice 4ft swell out of the SW with a long 15-second period. It’s a cross-off breeze, so the faces will be clean. The combined energy is solid (741), so you’ll feel the push. This is a very good option to start the day, but watch for those afternoon storms that’ll mess it up.
Monday the 17th is a rinse-and-repeat situation – morning glass is key. Tuesday the 18th morning is the real standout early in the week. We’ve got glassy conditions with a 4ft SSW swell. It’s absolute perfection for Tetitlan. The wind is dead calm, making for clean, glassy lines. This is your best bet for the first half of the period.
The surf does back off a touch mid-week, dropping to around 2ft to 3ft, but the morning glass keeps it rideable. Thursday the 20th and Friday the 21st are good for a longboard or a fish, just don’t expect too much push.
Then we start to see the energy building again. Saturday the 22nd morning is glassy with a 3ft SSW swell, but the real kicker is Sunday the 23rd. That morning brings a tiny 2ft swell, but the period is a massive 18 seconds. The combined energy jumps to 801, showing there’s plenty of punch in those lines. It’ll be glassy and clean, but with that long period, it might be a little walled-off at the beach break. Keep an eye on it, though.
The standout window for the whole outlook, and I mean the real one, is Saturday the 29th. The morning is a dream: zero wind, glassy as a lake, and a 5ft SW groundswell with a 16-second period. The combined energy hits 1075, which is strong. This is an expert-level swell – the size and power mean this isn’t for beginners. It’s going to be a heavy, powerful day. If you’ve got the skills, this is the session to circle on your calendar.
The next day, Sunday the 30th, is a step down in energy but still fun, and the week closes out with a clean Monday morning on the 31st with a 3ft SSW swell.
A word on crowds: Tetitlan can get busy sometimes, so on those glassy mornings, especially the 18th and 29th, expect a few others with the same idea.
Rusty, signing off.

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.
