Ticla Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Righto, grab ya board. Let's have a look at what Ticla (Mexico) has got cookin' for us over the next couple of weeks.

We're looking at a nice solid run of surf straight out of the gate. Wednesday the 8th of July kicks things off proper. The morning is where it's at – we've got a solid 5 ft SSW groundswell wrapping in with a very long 16-second period. The combined energy is strong at (1286), and with a light 3 mi/h easterly glassing it right out, Ticla is going to be looking clean as a whistle. This one's got "excellent" written all over it, but the power is up so it’s really one for the experienced crew. The water temp is sitting about average for this time of year, no dramas there.

The glassy conditions don't last the whole day though, the wind swings onshore by the afternoon and things get a bit ordinary. Thursday and Friday look pretty average with that northerly cross-shore wind messing up the lines mostly. The swell drops a little, but the energy is still moderate.

Now, Saturday the 11th of July morning is another beauty. We've got a clean 4 ft of SSW swell, long 14-second period, moderate combined energy of (716), and the wind is dead calm, glassy off the NNE. That's a top-notch window for some clean, fun waves before the afternoon chop ruins the party again.

Sunday the 12th and Monday the 13th also have some clean morning sessions with a consistent S/SSW swell, light offshore or cross-off winds, and the combined energy staying in the moderate range. The standout here is the consistency – we get a few mornings in a row of clean surf.

For the real pick of the whole forecast? I'd be looking at Wednesday morning the 15th of July. A bit smaller at 2 ft, but it's a super clean, glassy session with light northerly winds and a solid long period from the SW at 16 seconds. Combined energy of (573) means it's not punchy, but it'll be a glassy, long period groundswell that will peel nicely down the point. Perfect for a longboard or a fish – a real gem of a session if you're chasing a mellow solo paddle.

The second week gets a bit more mixed. We see a brief pulse of size late on the 15th and into the 16th, but with strong ESE winds making it messy and cross-chop. The morning of Saturday the 18th looks glassy but very small, until we get into Sunday the 19th of July. That morning has a beautiful clean 4 ft SW swell with a very long 17-second period and a light offshore breeze – combined energy jumps back up to (1064), indicating another strong session is on the cards for experienced surfers.

There's a bit of a gap in quality options around the 17th and 18th, and the forecast for the very end of the run (22nd and 23rd) is a bit touch and go with the winds. The real highlights are definitely those clean, glassy mornings we've got peppered through the run.

Stay stoked.
Rusty.
