The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty again. Let’s break down the next couple of weeks in feet and degrees.
Honestly, it’s a tough outlook. The first few days are a total dud, with no real surf to speak of. There’s a long, dry gap before anything worth paddling out for shows up.
That first real chance comes on Friday morning, September 4th. This is the one to get excited about. Tiririca is looking glassy – dead flat calm wind, which is a beautiful thing. The swell is a clean 4ft, coming straight out of the East, with a solid 9-second period. The combined energy of all swells directed here is moderate (281). The water temp is sitting at 79°, which is right around average for this time of year. This is your window. The break is consistent and beginner-friendly, just be aware that crowds are possible.
From Friday afternoon onward, it’s a mess. The wind swings onshore and stays there. Saturday the 5th and Sunday the 6th are choppy and cross-on. The entire second week is a washout. The swell does try to push a bit bigger around the 10th and 11th, hitting 7ft, but the wind is just awful – cross-onshore and choppy. With that short 8-second period and the wind, this setup is more interesting for the kite surfers than for us paddle guys.
The very end of the forecast on Friday, September 18th, shows a hint of long-period groundswell at 13 seconds, but it’s only 1ft and the wind is onshore. It’s a tease, not a session.
So, keep it simple: hit that Friday morning, September 4th. After that, it’s a long wait for something better.

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.
