Ticla Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the cards for the next couple of weeks.

First up, we've got a run of small but clean conditions to kick things off. The water temp is sitting pretty average for this time of year, so no surprises there.

It all starts on Wednesday the 15th. Ticla is a point break, exposed to the south swell, and it's showing a tiny 2ft SW groundswell with a very long period of 16 seconds. The wind is absolutely glassy, dead calm. The wave energy is weak (369), so it's small, but those long-period lines will have some shape. Expect clean, small waves for the experienced crew. The afternoon sees a cross-onshore breeze come up and the wave quality drops off.

Thursday the 16th morning is back to glassy, clean conditions with a 3ft SSW swell. Still small, but easy paddling. The rest of the week runs a similar pattern: glassy mornings with small but clean surf, then the afternoons get a bit choppy. Friday the 17th morning has a risk of thunderstorms, but the wind is calm and the 3ft SSW swell will be clean.

Now, the real pick of the first week is Sunday the 19th. The morning brings a 3ft SW groundswell with a very long period of 17 seconds and a light cross-offshore breeze. The wave energy is ramping up to moderate (950), and the waves will be clean. This is a solid point break option, and the period is long enough to get some proper power. The afternoon stays glassy. It's a good day for an intermediate surfer.

Monday the 20th is the standout for the whole window. The morning is glassy, clean, and the swell jumps to 4ft from the SW with a 16-second period. The wave energy is strong (997). This is the best combination of size, period, and perfect wind. The point break will be handling that long-period swell beautifully. The afternoon still has clean conditions, just a bit of an onshore breeze.

The following week has a few notable days. The 25th of July, Saturday morning, shows a very strong 4ft SW groundswell with a 20-second period. The energy is very strong (1440), and with a light cross-offshore breeze, it'll be clean. This is for experienced surfers only, as the period is ultra-long and the power is significant. The 27th Monday morning is also glassy with a 5ft SW swell, and the 28th Tuesday morning is glassy with a 6ft SSW swell. Both of those are for the experts.

The main thing to watch for is the wind. The mornings are consistently offering glassy or light offshore conditions, which is a huge positive for Ticla. The second week gets a bit more energetic, with bigger swells and more chance of storms, so keep an eye on the forecasts.

The 24th of July Friday morning is a bit of a wildcard: a 3ft swell with a ridiculous 24-second period. That's incredibly long, so expect very long, straight lines that need a point break like Ticla to turn into something rideable. The energy is moderate (647), but it's a weird one.

Overall, Monday the 20th is your best bet for the best all-round conditions. The 25th and 28th are for the experienced crew looking for a challenge.

Rusty.
