Ticla Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Hey, Rusty here. Looks like we've got a decent run coming up for Ticla, a point break that likes a southerly swell. The water is sitting at 88°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so you might not need the thickest wetsuit.

The action kicks off on Wednesday the 22nd. Morning session is the go with a clean 3 ft SW swell and a light cross-off wind. The energy is pumping at 504. That afternoon things get a bit messy with a cross-on wind, so make the most of the early hours.

Thursday the 23rd is looking like a morning mission too. It drops to a 2 ft SW swell, but the wind goes glassy, which is a major win for clean conditions. The afternoon brings a risk of thunderstorms and a cross-on breeze that'll chop it up.

Friday the 24th morning is a standout. The swell holds at 2 ft, but the period jumps to 24 seconds. That's proper long-period groundswell, meaning shaped waves and energy. Good news for a point break like Ticla, as it'll line up nicely. ESE cross-off wind keeps it clean, and the energy is strong at 747. Afternoon sees a shift to a cross-shore breeze and some risk of storms.

Now, Saturday the 25th and Sunday the 26th are the pick of the whole run. Saturday morning brings a 4 ft SW swell with a 20-second period and clean cross-off winds. The energy is very strong at 1305. This is excellent for experienced surfers. Sunday morning is similar, with a 5 ft SW swell and clean conditions. The energy is even higher at 2121. These are the days to clear your schedule.

Monday the 27th morning is still solid with a 5 ft SSW swell and clean conditions, but it's in that marginal zone for tide. The afternoon gets blown out with a 16 mph cross-shore wind.

Tuesday the 28th morning sees the swell bump to 7 ft from the SSW with an offshore ENE wind. This is getting into expert-only territory size-wise, but the conditions will be excellent with that offshore flow. The afternoon turns messy again.

The swell starts to ease from Wednesday the 29th, but mornings remain the cleanest option. Thursday the 30th is another glassy morning with a 5 ft SSW swell, which is a treat.

After that, we have a long gap. Friday the 1st of August morning is the next call, with a 4 ft W swell and clean cross-off wind, but the period has dropped to 11 seconds. The trend continues through to Tuesday the 5th with smaller swells and periods, but most mornings offer clean conditions as the wind stays light or glassy. Wednesday the 5th afternoon sees a 5 ft WSW swell but with an onshore wind, which is a no-go.

Given the quality of the mornings and the mix of long-period groundswell, the absolute standouts are Saturday the 25th and Sunday the 26th. That's your best bet for clean, powerful waves at Ticla.

Rusty.
