The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the table for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, mate, it’s a pretty grim run. The surf is gonna be flat and onshore for most of the next 16 days, with only a few fleeting moments that might get your heart rate up. The water is sitting at 79°, which is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year, so you won’t need the thickest rubber.
The first real glimmer of hope doesn’t show up until Wednesday, August 19. That morning at Tiririca, we’re looking at a small but clean swell. The wind goes glassy, coming from the SW at just 3 mph, which is a major win. Swell height is 4 ft from the ESE, with a period of 8 seconds and a combined energy of 271. It’s not huge, but it’s about as good as it gets in this run. The break is exposed to the E, which is not the optimal direction, but with glassy conditions the waves should be rideable and fun for a beginner-friendly spot.
After that, the window closes again. We get a few more mornings with glassy conditions—like Tuesday, August 25, and Thursday, August 27—but the swell is tiny, around 3 ft from the E, with a short period of 7 seconds and weak energy. These are surfable but very ordinary. You’ll get a wave, but it won’t be memorable.
For the rest of the period, it’s a continuous run of cross-shore and onshore winds, with small, weak, and often short-period swell. The waves are mostly poor or marginal, with energy values dropping as low as 112. It’s a long stretch of flatness, and honestly, the setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing on those windier days.
So, the standout is the morning of Wednesday, August 19 at Tiririca. Get out there early if you can. The rest is a waiting game.
Rusty.

Information about the Tiririca Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Tiririca provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Tiririca can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Tiririca 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 (Tiririca) 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 Tiririca 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.
Tiririca is 37 km (23 miles) from Ubaitaba. If you plan a holiday in Bahia - Sul, look for hotels and other accommodation in Ubaitaba. Ubaitaba has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
