The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's be straight with you – it's a tough stretch ahead on the East Coast. We've got Tiririca as our only option on the table, and honestly, it’s a rough one. The next couple of weeks are looking like a long, flat spell of poor conditions with no real standouts. You’ll be fighting onshore winds more often than not, and the swell just isn’t doing us any favours. Let's break it down day by day.
First up, early in the period starting Thursday, 10th September through the weekend, we've got a bit of energy in the water, but it's all messy. Thursday morning there's a small 4ft swell out of the ESE, but it's short period at 7 seconds and the wind is onshore at 6 mph from the NE. The combined energy is weak (244), and with rain showers around, it's just not worth paddling out. That trend continues – Friday has some similar 4ft ESE swell, but again the onshore wind messes it up. Saturday morning is the most promising early call, with a 5ft E swell and periods just hitting 8 seconds, but the wind is a light cross-onshore from the north at 3 mph. It's marginal, but you might find a few lumpy ones. Energy is building a touch (289), but don't get your hopes up. The rest of the weekend and into the next week stays small and choppy, with combined energies dipping as low as 153 and onshore winds from the east and northeast.
From the 14th right through to the 22nd of September, it’s a grim run. Swell heights bounce between 2ft and 4ft, but the wind is persistently cross-onshore or onshore, leaving the water choppy and uninviting. The combined energy is mostly in the weak to moderate range (147 to 231 at best), and the forecast gives everything a big fat zero. You're better off saving your wax.
Now, there is a little flicker of hope late in the period. On Wednesday the 23rd of September, we see a bigger 4ft ESE swell roll in with a very long period of 12 seconds. That’s proper groundswell energy, pushing combined energy up to 470 – the highest of the whole 16-day window. The problem? It’s still marked as poor surf conditions with a light cross-onshore breeze from the NE. For point breaks or reefs, that long period can be magic, but at a beach break like Tiririca, it's going to be a fat, closeout mess without the right bank. It’s promising, but far from certain and more than a week away – so keep an eye on it.
Water temp is not detailed in the info for Tiririca, so I can't tell you if it's warmer or cooler than usual, but it’s likely about average for this time of year.
Overall, it's a lean outlook. A few marginal windows, but nothing I'd call a standout. If you're a beginner, the swell rarely climbs above 5ft, so it won't be too heavy, but the onshore wind makes it a tough paddle. For anyone else, it's a waiting game. The setup might actually be more interesting for kite surfing on some of those choppier, windier days.
Stay patient, check back in a week. Rusty out.

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.
