The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's get into the next couple of weeks.
First up, we've got Tiririca. It's a beginner-friendly spot, and it's consistent, so there's always a chance of a wave. The water temp is about average for this time of year, nothing wild there.
The best bet in the whole 16-day window is Sunday the 16th of August, in the morning. We've got a clean 3 ft swell from the ESE, but the real story is the period – a solid 12 seconds of groundswell, pushing a moderate wave energy of 379 in the water. The wind is light and cross-off from the south, which will keep the surface clean. It's a beginner wave, so the size is perfect for that. Just be aware, crowds are a possibility at this spot.
The rest of that Sunday afternoon is a write-off with rain and a cross-on wind picking up. Monday the 17th gets a bit bigger, 6.6 ft, but the period drops to a short 7 seconds and the wind is messy. It's a cross-shore chop, not worth your time.
The week settles down with a lot of poor conditions. There's a little window on Wednesday the 19th in the morning – the wind goes glassy, and the swell is 5.6 ft from the ESE. It's a short period of 8 seconds, so it won't be world-class, but it'll be clean and fun for a beginner. The energy is moderate (361).
After that, it's a long stretch of small, weak, and onshore rubbish. From Thursday the 20th all the way through to the end of August, there's nothing worth paddling out for. The swell gets tiny, the wind is cross-on or onshore, and the periods are short. It's a blank run for a solid week and a half.
Looking way out, on Monday the 31st of August in the morning, there's a glimmer. The forecast shows a glassy morning with a 3.6 ft SSE swell and a very long 15-second period. The energy is strong (504). This is a long-range promise, so it's less certain, but the setup looks good for a clean, long-period groundswell. That period is so long though, it might break a bit straight at a beach break, but in the glassy conditions, it could be the standout of the window if it holds.
For now, your best bet is that Sunday morning session. The rest of the run is mostly dead.

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.
