The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty, and I’m looking at what’s on offer for Tiririca over the next couple of weeks. Honestly, it’s a bit of a flat spell with a lot of frustrating days ahead. We’ve got a huge gap with no decent surf through the first week or so. The water’s around 79°F, and that’s a touch warmer than normal for the time of year, so at least you won't freeze waiting.
For the first few days, from Friday the 11th through the middle of next week, it’s pretty much a write-off. The swell is small with ESE windswell around 3ft to 4ft at short periods, with moderate wave energy (200-270 range). The wind is mostly onshore or cross-onshore from the E and NE, making for poor conditions. It’s just not worth paddling out. Saturday the 12th has a marginal look but nothing special.
We finally see a proper window on the morning of Thursday the 17th. That’s the standout in this outlook. Tiririca will have clean 4ft swell from the E with a 10-second period and moderate energy (296). The key here is glassy conditions – wind goes to almost nothing from the ESE at 3 mph. That’s a rare treat in this forecast and the waves will be clean as a whistle. This is a solid beginners wave with that size, but watch it, as the optimum swell direction is from the E and the exposure is east, so there’s a good match. The crowd profile says “sometimes”, so you might have some company, but it’s manageable.
After that morning session, the window closes again. The rest of the week into the weekend of the 19th and the 20th is back to poor conditions with small, choppy swell and cross-onshore winds. The swell periods drop and the energy is moderate but poorly aligned with clean wind.
Tiririca is a consistent break, and with an east exposure and the optimum swell from the east, it can fire, but in this 16-day window it really comes down to that Thursday morning the 17th. The rest of the time, the wind just won’t cooperate. Bide your time, that glassy session on the 17th morning is the real deal for a small clean wave.
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.
