Tiririca Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s look at what’s on the table for the next couple of weeks.

Right off the bat, we’re looking at a pretty flat and messy start. The first few days are a write-off thanks to bumpy wind and small, weak swell. There’s a real gap from now until the weekend, so don’t bother paddling out until then.

The first real window of opportunity shows up on Saturday, July 25th. Tiririca is our spot. Early morning we’ve got glassy conditions with a light breeze from the SSW, and the swell is about 3 ft from the east. The period is a short 8 seconds, so it won’t be grunty, but with the glassy surface, it’ll be the cleanest we’ve seen. The combined energy is weak at 123, so it’s small and playful—perfect for a beginner session. The water temp is about average for the time of year.

Sunday morning, July 26th, is a similar story. Again, glassy conditions early, with a puff of NE air. Swell drops to 3 ft from the east, period down to 7 seconds, and energy is even weaker at 96. It’s rideable, but you’ll be working for it.

If you’re looking for a bit more push, keep your eye on Wednesday, August 5th. That’s a full week and a half away, so the long-range forecast is less certain, but it’s the only standout in the whole period. We’ve got a clean morning with a light SSW cross-off wind. Swell comes up to 5 ft from the east, period at 8 seconds, and the combined energy jumps to 378 (moderate). The wind is clean, so the waves should be shaped up. The crowd factor at Tiririca is “sometimes” busy, so you might have company, but for a spot that’s often inconsistent, this is a solid window. The 5 ft swell is manageable for intermediates, but beginners might find it a bit much.

The rest of the run is mostly small, choppy, or blown out. There’s a lot of cross-on wind and short-period junk, so don’t expect much else.

Rusty, signing off.
