The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s cooking for the next couple of weeks at Tiririca.
First thing you need to know: the water is sitting at a warm 78°, which is pretty much bang on average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
Honestly, the next week and a half is a bit of a write-off. We’re looking at a long stretch of poor to marginal conditions, with mostly cross-onshore winds and a choppy surface. The swell sticks around 6ft to 6ft from the ESE for the first few days, but the wind is just ruining it. The combined energy is moderate, hitting 444 (moderate wave energy) on Monday morning, but it doesn’t matter with that wind. There’s nothing really worth paddling out for.
Now, the one glimmer of hope comes on Thursday, July 23rd. The morning looks like a little beauty. The wind goes glassy, dropping to 3 mph from the W, and the swell drops to a clean 5ft from the east, with an 8-second period. The combined energy is still decent at 270 (moderate). This is your standout window. The conditions will be clean, and the size is manageable for most. It’s a consistent spot, so you’ll get waves, but it’s a beginner-friendly break, so keep your head on a swivel because crowds are possible. This is the best on offer.
After that, the swell fades fast. By Friday the 24th, we’re down to 4ft, and the wind is back on the cross-shore junk. The rest of the run into August is a mix of tiny surf and poor wind. There’s a quick window on the 26th with flat calm winds in the morning, but the swell is only 2ft, so it’s barely worth a mention. The combined energy drops to 111 (weak) by then.
Honestly, if you’re not a beginner, the whole 16-day window is a tough sell. The only real session is that Thursday morning. If you’re a kite surfer, the days with stronger onshore wind and a bit of chop might be more your thing, but for paddle surfing, it’s a lean stretch.
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.
