The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. I’ve been staring at the charts for this stretch, and I’ve got to be straight with you – it’s going to be a tough couple of weeks for anyone looking to get a proper wave.
The first few days are a total write-off. We’ve got a bit of swell on Sunday the 9th, but it’s sloppy and the wind is on it, so it’s not worth your time. Monday and Tuesday are just as ordinary, with bumpy conditions and onshore breezes. It’s not until Wednesday the 12th that we see a bit of size – the swell kicks up to around 7ft – but it’s coming with strong cross-shore winds and rain. That’s just a messy, blown-out ocean, not surf. In fact, with that kind of wind and those conditions, this stretch of beach looks more like a kite-surfing zone than a paddle-surfing one.
The only real window of hope in the whole 16-day run is Thursday morning, the 13th. It’s not huge, but it’s clean. The wind goes light offshore, and the swell settles to about 4ft from the east with a period of 8 seconds. The energy is moderate (300). That’s your best chance for a wave that actually holds its shape. After that, it drops back down and gets messy again. Friday morning has a glassy dawn with a small 3ft wave, but it’s weak and pretty ordinary.
From there, we’re looking at a long stretch of small, inconsistent, and often cross-onshore conditions. The swell hangs around the 2ft to 3ft range, and the period is mostly short and weak. It’s going to be a frustrating week and a half. Come Thursday the 21st, the wind picks up again, and the surf stays in the ankle-to-knee-high zone. There’s nothing on the horizon that looks like it’s going to save this run.
Honestly, for a beginner spot like Tiririca, the lack of quality is a real bummer. The water temp is sitting at 79°, which is about normal for the time of year, but that’s about the only thing that’s normal. The first week is a blank, and the second week is looking just as bleak. It’s a poor run, but these stretches don’t usually last forever. Keep an eye on the charts, because forecasts can change.
If you’re desperate, be on the beach at first light on Thursday the 13th. That’s the standout, and it’s not much. Otherwise, save your energy.
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.
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.
