The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what Tiririca has in store for us over the next couple of weeks.
First up, the water is running a touch warmer than usual for this time of year, at 79°. That’s nice, but it’s not gonna help the surf much.
Honestly? We’ve got a long, slow grind ahead. The next week and a half is mostly a write-off. From now through to around the 18th, it's a whole lot of small, weak, and messy surf with onshore or cross-onshore winds. Wave energy is mostly in the moderate range, but it’s just not coming together – short period windswell and poor conditions dominate the daily reports. You’ll be fighting a cross-chop or small wind ripples for scraps that are barely knee-high. The swell is tiny and the wind just won’t play ball. Kite surfers might get a look, but for a paddle surfer, there’s not much joy.
The first real glimmer of hope is on Wednesday the 19th morning. There’s a window here with the wind going glassy – that’s a *huge* positive. Swell is small, just 4ft from the E with a period of 7 seconds, and combined energy is moderate (238). It’s not a big day, but with that glassy surface, those little waves will be clean and fun for a beginner to intermediate. This is your standout window for the whole forecast.
Following that, there’s a couple of mornings that are "marginal" at best – the 12th of August morning has a bigger 8ft SE swell but with a cross-off wind, and the energy is strong (776). That’s a punchy wave for a beginner spot, and a bit too much for the learners, but a confident surfer could find a clean-ish wall. The 13th morning also shows clean 3ft E swell with light cross-off wind and moderate energy (231), a good little window if you’re quick.
Beyond that, the second week fades back into small, weak, and onshore slop right through to the 26th. The swell never really fires again in the window, and the wind stays rubbish.
So your best bet is Wednesday 19th morning for a glassy, clean, small-wave session at Tiririca. If you’re after a bit more size, the 12th of August morning is the biggest swell, but it’s on the edge for this break. 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.
