Tiririca Surf Forecast and Surf Report

G'day, I'm Rusty. Let's have a look at what's on the cards for Tiririca over the next couple of weeks.

Honestly, it's a bit of a slow start and there's a lot of ordinary to poor conditions to wade through. The first real glimmer of something worthwhile doesn't show up until Thursday, 3rd September. Up until then, from Friday the 28th right through to Wednesday the 2nd, it's mostly cross-onshore or onshore winds, small, weak swell, and a lot of "poor surf conditions" comments. The water temp is sitting at a pretty warm 79°, which is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there.

The standout window looks to be Thursday morning, 3rd September. That's when we get a light south-west cross-offshore breeze, clean conditions, and a 4ft swell from the east with an 8-second period. The combined energy is moderate at 240. It's a beginner-friendly break, consistent, and with that light offshore wind, it should be clean and fun. The optimum swell direction for Tiririca is east, so this is right on the money. Crowds are possible here sometimes, but on a Thursday morning you might get a bit more room.

Then Friday morning, 4th September, also looks promising. A light south-southwest cross-offshore, clean conditions, with a 5ft swell from the south-southeast, but the period is only 6 seconds, so a bit weaker and more chopped-up. Still, the combined energy is moderate at 352, and it's surfable.

Saturday morning, 5th September, offers a brief moment of glassy conditions with a light easterly breeze and a 4ft east swell, 7-second period. The energy is 182, so moderate, but it's glassy and clean – a real treat if you can get out early.

After that, conditions drop off again. From Sunday the 6th right through to the end of the forecast on Saturday the 12th, it's mostly onshore or cross-onshore winds, small swell, and poor surf. There's a jump in swell energy around the 9th and 10th (271 and 356) with longer period SSE swells (14-16 seconds), but the wind is cross-onshore or onshore, so it's messy. A long-period groundswell like that would be better at a point or reef, but Tiririca is exposed, so it's likely to be a bit of a washout with the wind.

So, to wrap it up: the best bet is Thursday morning, 3rd September, for clean, chest-high waves with the right wind. Friday morning the 4th is a solid second option. Don't get your hopes up for the rest of the week.

Rusty.
