The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – the next couple of weeks are looking pretty average for Tiririca. It’s the kind of run where you’ve got to pick your moments carefully. The water temp is sitting at 79°, which is a degree above normal for this time of year, so it’s a touch warmer than usual.
The first few days are a write-off. From Monday the 7th right through to the end of the following week, we’re dealing with poor surf. The wind is either cross-on or directly onshore, and the wave quality just isn’t there. The energy is weak to moderate, with combined energy values sitting around the 100 to 200 mark (109 to 280) – nothing to get excited about. The swell is short-period, mostly around 6 to 8 seconds, so it’s messy and gutless.
The one bright spot that stands out is Saturday morning, the 12th of September. For a brief window, it’s looking glassy with a light N wind, and the swell is 4ft from the ESE. The combined energy hits 284, which is moderate, but the real story is the clean conditions. That glassy surface will make a huge difference to the quality of the waves. It’s still a beginner-friendly break, and the crowds are possible, so don’t expect to have it all to yourself.
After that, the pattern gets messy again. The surf picks up a bit in size towards the second week, with a run of 5ft to 6ft swell from the E, but the wind stays onshore or cross-onshore, and the period is short – 8 seconds or less. The combined energy climbs into the 300s (301 to 428), so there’s more water moving, but it’s going to be bumpy and hard to enjoy. On the 22nd, we get a 6ft swell, but it’s onshore wind and still short-period, so it’s a no-go for a clean paddle.
Overall, if you’re a beginner or just want a fun, clean session, Saturday morning the 12th is your best bet. The rest of the window is a waiting game. The conditions don’t look like they’ll turn around for a proper good run, but hey, forecasts can change, and it tends not to stay this average for long.
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.
