The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's break down what's on the cards for Tiririca over the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you: the start of this forecast is a pretty quiet affair. We're looking at a run of small, weak, and onshore slop through Sunday the 9th and Monday the 10th. Swell energy is weak (91 to 81), with those short-period, onshore waves making for a frustrating session. You'll be battling a light breeze and barely a ripple worth paddling for. Not worth suiting up.
We stay in the doldrums through Tuesday the 11th, with a bit more energy (142) but still poor surf. The wind kicks up, making things choppy. It's a write-off.
Now, the first real glimmer of hope shows up on Wednesday morning, August 12th. The sea starts to wake up with a solid 7ft swell from the southeast, and the energy jumps to a moderate 362. The wind swings cross-offshore, keeping things clean. For a beginner-friendly spot like Tiririca, this is a standout moment. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so no drama there. Keep in mind, though, the swell is short period, so it'll be a bit softer and less powerful than a proper groundswell.
Thursday morning the 13th is another decent window, with a clean 3ft from the east, but the energy drops off quickly. After that, we hit another rough patch. From Friday the 14th through to the end of the following week, the conditions are mostly poor with onshore or cross-shore winds, choppy surfaces, and a real mix of weak energy. There's a bit of a long-period swell on the 14th and 15th, but it's coming from the wrong direction and the wind just ruins it.
The real standout to circle on your calendar is Tuesday morning, August 18th. This is a beauty. We're looking at a 6ft swell from the east-southeast, the energy is strong at 518, and the wind is a whisper-light cross-offshore from the SSW. The forecast says "expect very good surf conditions," and I'm buying it. The water will be clean, the waves will have some push, and for Tiririca, that's about as good as it gets. The period is a touch short at 9 seconds, but the energy is there, and the wind is your friend.
After that, things get a bit messy again. There's a glassy morning on Thursday the 20th, but the swell is tiny. The last week of the outlook is a frustrating mix of swell building, but the wind is always ruining it, blowing onshore or cross-onshore. It's a bit of a cruel tease, really.
Bottom line: This is a slow start and a choppy middle. The two clear winners are Wednesday morning, August 12th for a fun, clean beginner-friendly wave, and Tuesday morning, August 18th, which is the best of the bunch for a solid, clean session. Don't get your hopes up for the rest of it.
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.
