Tiririca Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let’s break this down for Tiririca in feet and miles per hour.

Honestly, this is a rough stretch. We’ve got a lot of days where the surf just isn’t playing ball. The first week and a half is mostly a dud, with only a couple of windows worth considering.

The first real chance is Monday morning, 31 August. A small 4ft swell from the east with an 8-second interval. The energy is moderate (198). But the big plus here is the wind: glassy, dead calm. For a beginner spot like Tiririca, that makes for the cleanest possible surface, even if the waves are nothing special.

Then it goes ugly. From Tuesday, 1 September through Sunday, 6 September, we’ve got persistent cross-onshore or onshore winds. The swell picks up—hitting 6ft on Wednesday, 2 September—but it’s short-period windswell (8 seconds) and all chopped up by a north cross-shore. The energy climbs into moderate range (457), but it’s messy.

The one day you want to circle is Friday morning, 4 September. The wind swings to a cross-offshore south-southwest, and the swell settles to a clean 4ft from the east at 9 seconds. The energy is moderate (354), and conditions are clean. This is the best of the whole forecast. For a beginner-friendly break, this is your window—clean offshore wind, small but surfable. Crowds are possible, so get there early.

After that, it’s slim pickings until Tuesday morning, 8 September. A tiny 1ft swell from the south-southeast with a super long 15-second period. That’s real groundswell. The wind is cross-offshore from the south, and conditions are clean. The combined energy is moderate (228), but the wave height is tiny—better for longboarders or folks who just want to sit out there. Beginners will find it tough to catch anything.

The rest of the second week is a mix of small, short-period swells and poor wind. Thursday morning, 10 September offers a 4ft northeast swell at 7 seconds with a light cross-shore wind from the southeast. The notes say marginal, so it might be worth a look if you’re really keen, but don’t expect much.

Bottom line: no big swells, no long-period groundswell to write home about. The standout is Friday morning, 4 September—clean, lined-up east swell with offshore wind. Tuesday morning, 8 September gives a tiny but clean long-period groundswell for the patient. The rest is a stay-home kind of week.
