The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty, and I’m looking at what’s on offer for Ticla over the next couple of weeks. It’s a point break that’s exposed to the south swell, and it’s fairly consistent, so there’s always a chance.
Right now, the water temp is about average for the time of year, nothing crazy. The first few days are small but not without hope. Wednesday the 19th starts us off with a clean 3ft SSW swell and a light cross-off breeze, giving us some workable little waves. The energy is moderate (484), so it’s not a total loss. Thursday and Friday the 20th and 21st drop to 3ft, but Friday morning goes glassy with a sweet 3ft SSW swell – that’s about as clean as it gets for a small day. The energy is a bit weaker (347), but the conditions are pure.
The real standout is this Saturday morning, the 23rd of August. A 2ft SW groundswell with a long 18-second period rolls in, and the wind is glassy. The wave energy is strong (856), and the long period means better shape and more power, but these long-period swells can run a bit too straight on a beach break. At Ticla, a point, it should be a thing of beauty. That’s the session to pencil in.
Then there’s a real gem on the 28th of August, Friday morning. Swell bumps up to 4ft from the SSW, period 17 seconds, and the energy is strong (1290). The wind is calm, glassy. This is excellent surf for experienced surfers. The next morning, Saturday the 29th, is also a standout: 6ft SSW swell, cross-off wind, clean, and energy is strong (1402). That’s a proper swell, but it’s getting a bit hefty, so it’s for the more experienced crew.
After that, into the first week of September, the consistency holds but the quality drops off a bit. The 1st of September sees a 4ft SSW swell with a cross-off breeze, energy is moderate (902), and the 3rd of September has a 4ft SSW swell with a 17-second period, but the wind is a moderate breeze, so it’s not as clean. Still, if you’re chasing, there’s always something.
Overall, the best of the lot is the 23rd of August morning for that glassy, long-period, clean condition. And if you want a bit more size, the 28th and 29th are your go-to. The rest of the window is a mix of smaller, clean mornings and wind-affected afternoons, so keep your eye on the early sessions.
Rusty.

Information about the Ticla Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Ticla provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Ticla can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Ticla surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Ticla) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Ticla may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
