Tetitlan Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at the next couple of weeks for Tetitlan. It’s a bit of a mixed bag, but there are definitely some windows where it’s going to be worth paddling out.

The opening stretch is all about the mornings. We’ve got a good run of clean, glassy conditions with light offshore breezes. The swell is moderate, and the energy is solid. Things are looking pretty good to start, but the afternoons are going to get chopped up by the sea breeze, so make the most of those early sessions.

For Saturday the 15th, the morning is your window. We’re looking at a clean 5ft SW groundswell with a long 16-second period. The energy reading is strong (1178), and with the glassy conditions, it’s going to be lined up nicely for those who know what they're doing. The afternoon will glass off and get messy, so get out early.

Sunday and Monday mornings follow a similar pattern, with clean 4ft SW swells. The energy drops off a bit, but the surf will still be fun and clean. Just keep an eye on the sky on Sunday, there’s a chance of a storm.

The middle of the week sees the swell ease off a touch. Tuesday through Thursday mornings still offer clean conditions with waist-high waves, but you’ll want to be on a longboard or a fish. The energy is dropping into the moderate range (620 and 375) and the swell period shortens. Still, perfectly rideable.

Then things get interesting again. On Friday the 21st, we see a new pulse of energy. The morning brings a jump in size to 6ft, though the period shortens up a bit to 11 seconds. It’s still clean early, but the afternoon gets a cross-shore wind and a bump in size that'll make it a bit of a handful.

The weekend of the 23rd and 24th looks promising. Saturday the 23rd brings another standout morning. It’s an excellent forecast for experienced surfers with a clean 4ft SW swell and a big jump in energy (1380). The wind will be dead calm, making for some truly glassy conditions. This is one of the better windows in this outlook.

Looking into the second week, it's a bit more of a mixed forecast. There are some promising mornings with clean surf on the 25th and 26th, with some cross-off winds adding to the quality. But the consistency starts to waver.

Keep an eye on Thursday the 27th. The swell drops off in size, but the period stretches out to a very long 18 seconds. That’s a proper groundswell, and while the size is down around 2ft, the energy in the water will be there. It’s a sign of things to come.

The real standout of the entire run looks like it’s going to be Saturday the 29th. The forecast is for a clean 4-5ft SW groundswell with a 16-second period and the highest energy reading of the whole period (1472). The wind is forecast to be calm, which means perfect, glassy conditions. This is the one to circle on the calendar. It’s a week and a half out, so don’t hold me to it, but all the signs are pointing to a proper session.

The water temp is about average for this time of year, so it should be comfortable in a spring suit.

Right, I’m off to check my wax. Keep it glassy.
