Tetitlan Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let’s talk about the surf ahead. It’s a bit of a slow burner for the first part of the window, but there’s some real quality waiting out there if you’re patient.

The opening days are pretty quiet. We’ve got some small, clean surf on the Wednesday and Thursday mornings, with 2ft to 2ft swells and glassy conditions. It’s not going to get your heart racing, but it’s a chance to get wet without any drama. The water is sitting at a warm 88°, which is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year, so it’s comfortable. Afternoons, though, are a write-off with the cross-onshore winds chopping things up.

Friday and Saturday are a mixed bag. Friday morning is a bit crossed up, and by the afternoon it’s onshore. Saturday morning, though, is a standout for this early part. We get a clean 4ft of SSW swell, glassy conditions, and the energy is building to a moderate 746. It’s a good window to be out at Tetitlan.

Sunday and the start of next week keep the theme going. Mornings are your friend – clean, glassy, with waves around 3ft, occasionally with a little offshore wind. Get on it early, because the afternoon sea breeze is a regular fixture, messing up the surface. There’s a chance of a storm on Sunday morning, but if you dodge that, the surf will be good.

Now, for the real gold. Look at the 14th of August, that’s a Friday morning. The swell jumps to 4ft from the SW, but the energy is the big story – it’s hitting 1229, which is strong. With light winds and a glassy surface, this is the first real gem of the period. It’s a powerful, clean swell.

And then, the big one. The 20th of August, a Thursday morning. The swell builds to 5ft from the SSW, with the energy surging to a very strong 1427. The wind is light and offshore, so it’s going to be clean and powerful. This is the standout of the entire 16-day window, hands down. It’s for experienced surfers, given the size, but for the crew that’s ready, it will be worth the wait. The same afternoon gets a bit messy with a cross-onshore, so be out early. This one’s a bit further out, so the specifics could change, but the potential is there for a proper session.

So, there you have it. A week of small, clean mornings to get your fix, then two real windows of quality swell, with the 20th being the big payoff. Be patient, pick your windows, and you’ll get some good ones.

Rusty out.
