The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a hard look at what’s coming up for Tiririca.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – this is a grim stretch. We’re looking at a long, dry run of poor conditions that lasts from now all the way through to the end of August and into the first days of September. For the first week, from Friday the 28th of August right through to the afternoon of Thursday the 3rd of September, there’s really nothing worth paddling out for. The wind is mostly onshore or cross-onshore, the swell is weak and messy, and the wave comment reads “poor surf conditions” for almost every session. You’d be fighting a losing battle.
The only faint glimmer in that first week comes on the morning of Monday the 31st of August. We’ve got a 5ft east swell with an 8-second period, and the combined wave energy is moderate (256). The wind is just a light breeze from the NE, so it’s cross-onshore but light enough that it’s only kicking up small wind ripples. It’s still listed as marginal surf, but if you’re a beginner and you’re desperate, that might be the only window where it’s not a total write-off. But don’t expect much.
Moving into the second week, we start to see a bit more size, but the quality just isn’t there. On the morning of Tuesday the 1st of September, we get a 5ft east swell with a short 8-second period and moderate energy (362). The wind is cross-shore from the north, which is the best wind we’ll see in the whole outlook – but it’s still only a “marginal surf forecast.” That same day, the 1st, and again on the morning of Saturday the 5th of September (6ft from the ESE, 7-second period, moderate energy at 300), if you’re a kiter, the setup looks a lot more fun than it does for us paddle surfers. The swell is there, but the wind and short period mean it’s choppy and weak.
The real standout, if you can call it that, is the morning of Saturday the 5th of September. That 6ft swell is the biggest of the whole forecast, coming from the ESE with moderate energy (300). The wind is light and cross-shore from the southeast, giving us a rare moment of cleaner conditions with just small crossing ripples. It’s still only a marginal call, but if you’re an experienced surfer and you’ve been watching the ocean all week, this is the one session that has the best chance of offering a few half-decent, punchy little waves before the wind turns onshore again in the afternoon. For beginners, 6ft might be a bit much.
After that, the rest of the second week fades back into poor, onshore slop right through to the 12th of September. There’s no big, clean groundswell on the horizon, no long-period pulse. It’s just a long, frustrating stretch of tiny, wind-affected surf. This is one of those times where you either wait it out or find something else to do. Forecasts can change, but right now, save your energy.
Stay patient.
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.
