Tiririca Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let me tell you what we've got coming up at Tiririca. Honestly, for a solid stretch there, it's not looking great, but we do have a couple of bright spots if you know when to paddle out.

Right now and for the first few days, it’s pretty grim. The swell is hanging around 7 ft from the SSE, but with a short period of just 7 seconds and a moderate breeze, the ocean is a jumbled mess. The combined energy comes in at 499 (moderate), but the wind is just messing it all up. This is not the time to be a beginner; that 7 ft is pushing it for the less experienced, and the quality is just poor.

We go through the rest of the week with more of the same – cross winds and wonky swells. It’s not until Sunday, July 19th, that we get a real glimmer. That morning, the wind drops right off to a glassy 3 mph from the south, and it’s a cross-off. The swell drops to a cleaner 4 ft from the SE with a period of 9 seconds. The energy is moderate (384), and the report says “expect good surf conditions.” That morning window is your best bet for a clean, fun session. The afternoon blows out again.

Then, there’s a real standout. Mark your calendar for Tuesday, July 21st. Another morning with glassy, nearly calm winds from the south at 3 mph. We get a 5 ft E swell with that same clean cross-off wind. The combined energy is 358 (moderate), and it’s described as “expect good surf conditions.” That’s the pick of the fortnight for me. It’s still a manageable size for most surfers, and the glassy conditions will make it incredible.

After that, we get into a run of smaller, more ordinary surf. A few mornings on the 23rd and 24th have glassy conditions, but the swell is down around 4 ft to 4 ft from the east with an 8-second period, so the energy is low (189-237) and the waves will be a little weak and lumpy.

The long-range stuff around July 30th is interesting – it shows a morning with a 7 ft SE swell and light cross-off winds, giving a combined energy of 448 (moderate). But that’s a long way off, so take that one with a grain of salt. The setup could be a bit much for the beginners, but for the guys who know what they’re doing, it’s a promising prospect.

Overall, the waves are mostly poor for the next week and a half, with a few small, clean windows in between. The real magic is the morning of Tuesday, July 21st. Get on it.
