The Lowdown
Right now, Tiririca is looking like a bit of a write-off for the next stretch, and I gotta be straight with you—there’s nothing on the table that’s worth paddling out for in any kind of decent shape.
We’ve got a run of weak, short-period wind swell pushing in from the east and southeast, and the wind’s mostly sitting on it or cross-onshore. That’s a combo that just chops everything up. For the first week, from the 11th through the 18th, we're looking at chest-high slop at best, with the swell hanging around the 3ft to 5ft mark, but the period is stuck at 7 to 8 seconds—that’s not doing anyone any favors. The energy is weak-to-moderate at best, with values in the 131 to 312 range, but it’s not translating into anything rideable. The water’s a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, coming in at 79°F, but that’s about the only highlight.
There’s a brief tease on the 17th when the wind drops to next to nothing and the period bumps up to 10 seconds, but the swell’s still small and the surf is deemed marginal at best. Don’t get your hopes up.
From the 19th through the 24th, we’re stuck in the same pattern—small, weak, and messy. Swell heights dip down to 2ft at times, energy stays low, and the wind keeps messing with what little shape there is. It’s just flat and bumpy, not worth the drive.
The last couple of days of the window, the 25th and 26th, do see a slight bump in swell energy—up into the 239 to 327 range—with 4ft to 5ft of east-northeast swell, but the period stays short at 7 seconds and the wind is still cross-onshore. It’s still messy and closing out.
Honestly, for a beginner spot, you might be better off staying home. If you’re an experienced surfer, this setup looks far more interesting for a kite session than for paddle surfing—the wind’s there, but the wave quality just isn’t.
Keep an eye on forecasts; a small change in wind direction could turn things around, but as it stands, there’s no standout day in this whole 16-day stretch. I’d wait it 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.
