The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the menu for the next couple of weeks.
We've got a bit of a slow start, but there is a definite standout window early on. The first real action kicks off on the morning of Wednesday, August 19th at Tiririca. It's a beginner-friendly spot, exposed to the swell, and it's consistent, which is a big tick. That morning we see a 5ft swell coming out of the ESE, with a period of 8 seconds. The wind is glassy out of the ESE at a mere 3 mph, so it's going to be clean as a whistle. The water temp is sitting at 78°, which is about average for this time of year. The combined energy of all swells hitting the coast is a solid 300, so there's a moderate amount of energy in the water there. The message is simple: expect good surf conditions. That Wednesday morning is your best bet.
After that morning, it fades fast. Wednesday afternoon turns to a cross-onshore wind and the surf quality drops right off. From Thursday, August 20th, right through to Tuesday, September 2nd, it's pretty grim. The wind is constantly onshore, cross-onshore, or generally messy, and the swell drops to under 3ft for most of that stretch. The wave comment almost across the board is "poor surf conditions." There's a brief moment on Friday morning, August 21st, where the swell is 3ft and glassy again, but it's small and the comment says "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions." Not worth getting too excited about. That's a long, dry spell of about 10 days.
There is a flicker of hope on Friday, August 28th, with a morning session pointing to "marginal surf forecast or questionable tide conditions" with a 4ft swell from the E. But with a cross-on wind, it's still a tough call.
For a break that's consistent like Tiririca, this is a very unusual run of flat and poor conditions. If you're a beginner, the window on the 19th is your only real shot, but that 5ft might be pushing the top end of your comfort zone. For everyone else, it’s going to be a tough wait. Honestly, with the steady onshore wind and the beach setup, this looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing for most of the run.
Take it easy, and watch for the next change.

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.
