The Lowdown
Alright, surfers, Rusty here. Let’s get into it. This stretch ahead is all about Ticla, and honestly, it’s looking like a pretty solid run of waves, with a few standout windows you’re gonna want to plan around. The water is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, which is always a nice bonus.
We kick things off on Wednesday the 9th. The morning is the pick with a glassy 3ft SW swell rolling in. The energy is moderate at 737, and that clean surface is going to make it feel better than the size suggests. The afternoon gets a bit crossed up with a light cross-onshore breeze, so the morning session is the one to chase.
Thursday the 10th sees a little more size, with the morning offering a clean 4ft SW swell and some cross-off wind. The energy is building, up to 900. It’s not giant, but it’ll be fun. Friday the 11th drops back a touch to 4ft but stays glassy in the morning, making for another clean, playful session.
The weekend is smaller, with Saturday and Sunday mornings offering gentle waves around 3ft and 2ft. The periods are a bit shorter, so it'll be less pushy, but still fun for a longboard or a groveler. No complaints there.
Now, here’s where things start to get interesting. Monday the 14th sees the swell filling back in with a 3ft SW groundswell, but it’s Tuesday the 15th that gets the ball really rolling. That morning has a clean 4ft SW at 17 seconds, and the energy is ramping up to 871. That’s a proper groundswell pulse.
But the true standout of this entire outlook is Wednesday the 16th. The morning delivers a clean 5ft SSW swell with that long-period push, and the energy jumps to 1024. This is the biggest, cleanest swell of the run, and with a light east wind and offshore conditions, Ticla is going to be firing. This is the one to circle on the calendar. The afternoon gets a bit bumpy, so get your fill early.
We get a bit of a breather after that. Thursday and Friday mornings stay clean with fun 4ft and 3ft swells, but Saturday the 19th and Sunday the 20th see some weaker, more jumbled conditions. The wind gets a bit messy, and the swell doesn’t have the same energy. Sunday afternoon looks particularly rough, so it might be a good time to do something else.
Then, we look ahead. The pattern re-fires on Monday the 21st. That morning looks excellent for experienced surfers. We’ve got a clean 4ft SW swell, glassy conditions, and the energy is solid at 1074. This is your other standout, a real quality window. The rest of the second week, through the 24th, stays consistent, with mornings offering clean, rideable waves in the 4ft to 4ft range. It’s not as big as that Wednesday the 16th or Monday the 21st pulse, but it’s reliable, and the swells are clean.
So, to keep it simple: the two mornings you don't want to miss are Wednesday the 16th and Monday the 21st. Both have the best combo of size, clean winds, and solid energy. Get on it.
Rusty, out.

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.
Ticla is 89 km (55 miles) from Tecoman. If you plan a holiday in Michoacan, look for hotels and other accommodation in Tecoman. Tecoman has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
