Tetitlan Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s check out what’s coming for Tetitlan. This spot is a tricky one—it’s inconsistent, so it doesn’t light up often, but when it does, you better be ready. The water’s a touch warmer than usual for this time of year, at 88°F with a positive anomaly of 3°F, so it’s nice and warm.

The first few days are a bit of a letdown. Friday morning the 7th has some weak 3ft SSW swell running at a very long 18 seconds, but it’s got a light cross breeze and the energy is only moderate (693). It’s marginal, and the afternoon turns choppy with a cross-onshore wind. Not worth paddling out for.

Saturday morning the 8th looks better. The swell holds at 4ft from the SSW with a 16-second period, and the wind goes glassy—dead calm, 5 mph from the NE. That’s clean, but the spot is inconsistent, so you might wait a while. The energy is moderate (763). Sunday morning the 9th is similar: glassy again, 4ft SSW, 14-second period, energy at 585. Still inconsistent, but if you’re patient, there’s a ride in there.

Monday the 10th is a write-off. The morning has a light cross breeze, and the afternoon drops to 2ft with a long 20-second period but poor conditions. Tuesday the 11th morning is a standout with zero wind, glassy as a mirror, 3ft SSW at 18 seconds, and energy jumping to 976 (moderate to strong). That’s a clean, classy morning, but the afternoon gets blown out.

Wednesday the 12th morning turns offshore—5 mph from the NNE, 3ft SW swell at 16 seconds, clean. The energy is 617, moderate. Thursday the 13th morning is also clean with a cross-offshore breeze, 3ft SW at 16 seconds. Still inconsistent, but these mornings are your best bet early on.

Now, the real standout hits Friday the 14th. The morning delivers 4ft of SW swell with a 18-second period, glassy winds, and the energy jumps to 1324—strong. This is excellent surf for experienced surfers, but at 4ft it’s still manageable. The afternoon gets bigger, 5ft, but with an onshore wind, so stick to the morning. Saturday the 15th morning is also a beauty: 5ft SW at 16 seconds, cross-offshore breeze, energy at 1219 (strong). This is the best window of the whole outlook—clean, solid, and with that long period, the point breaks and reefs will be doing their thing.

Sunday the 16th through the rest of the forecast keeps a consistent 4ft to 4ft SSW swell, with plenty of glassy mornings on the 17th, 18th, 20th, and 21st. The energy stays moderate (500s to 700s). The 22nd has a nice 2ft SW swell with a very long 21-second period in the afternoon, energy 808 (moderate), but a cross breeze. Not a standout, but a fun little finisher.

Overall, the best surf is on Friday the 14th and Saturday the 15th mornings. Glassy, solid SW swell, strong energy, and that long period will make the reefs and points juice up. But remember, Tetitlan is inconsistent—it rarely breaks, so when it does, you take it. If you’re an expert, the 5ft days are for you. Beginners might find the 4ft mornings more forgiving.

Stay stoked, and don’t sleep on those early glass-offs.
