The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get this sorted. I’m only looking at the one spot we’ve got info for.
It’s been a rough start. The first solid week is a total washout. From Wednesday afternoon the 15th right through to the morning of Monday the 21st, the wind is all wrong—mostly cross or cross-onshore—and the surf quality is poor. Don’t even think about it.
We finally get a little window on the morning of Tuesday the 21st. Tiririca is a beginner-friendly spot, consistent, and on that morning you’ve got a clean 5ft easterly swell with a light cross-offshore breeze (SSW at 3 mph). The combined energy is moderate at 352, and it’s looking clean. The water temp is about 79°, which is normal for the season. It’s the best on offer in the first week, but it’s a very early call and the swell is just okay.
Then the real standout doesn’t come until the morning of Thursday the 23rd. That’s a glassy, clean session with a 3ft easterly swell and a WSW wind at 3 mph. The combined energy is weaker at 208, but with that glassy surface, it’ll be the most user-friendly wave of the whole run for a beginner. It’s small, but it’s clean. That’s the one to aim for.
After that, it’s more of the same messy stuff. The morning of Sunday the 26th has a clean 3ft easterly swell (116 combined energy), but it’s tiny. The morning of the 27th is similar—2ft with a clean look. The last few days drop off into very small, weak surf. The morning of the 29th brings a glassy but pathetic 2ft south-southeast swell with a very long 15-second period, which might make a weird, weak wave at a point break, but not here.
The pick of the entire 16-day window is the morning of Thursday the 23rd. It’s not big, it’s not powerful, but it’s the only time the wind, swell, and shape all line up for a clean, fun session at Tiririca. The 21st is a runner-up, but the wind is a little more on it.

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.
