The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – this outlook for Tiririca is a tough one to write. We’ve got a solid 16-day window in front of us, but honestly, the surf is just not cooperating. The whole stretch is a write-off for quality waves. There’s no standout day, no hidden gem session to get excited about. It’s a long, dry spell.
Let’s start with what we’re looking at. The water is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, sitting at 79°F, so the temperature is a bit above average. That’s the only nice thing I can say.
From Tuesday afternoon, September 8th, we see a small 3ft swell from the SSE, but it’s short-period stuff at 7 seconds. The combined energy is weak (224), and with an onshore wind, the conditions are just poor. That sets the tone for the whole outlook.
Wednesday the 9th and Thursday the 10th are the same story. Swell hangs around 3ft to 4ft from the SE and ESE, periods of 7 seconds, and the wind is either onshore or a light breeze. The energy is moderate at best (174 to 232), but the surf quality is still rated as poor. It’s messy and uninviting.
Friday the 11th through to the end of the second week, September 23rd, is a relentless grind. Swell sizes fluctuate between 3ft and 5ft, almost always from the E or ESE, with periods rarely getting past 8 seconds. The wind is consistently cross-onshore, with a few days of onshore flow. The combined energy is mostly moderate (98 to 289), but the wave comment is always “poor surf conditions.” There’s no clean, offshore wind to save it. The consistency is there, but it’s just not good surf.
For a beginner-friendly break like Tiririca, which is consistent and exposed to the swell, this is a real bummer. The swell is small enough for beginners, but the wind is constantly ruining the shape. The crowd can be an issue here sometimes, but honestly, with conditions this poor, you’ll likely have the place to yourself.
There are no good surf options in this 16-day window. For a spot that’s usually fairly consistent, this is a frustrating run. But forecasts can change, and it doesn’t tend to stay this poor for long. For now, the kites might be having a better time than the paddle crew.
Stay patient, 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.
