Tiririca Surf Forecast and Surf Report

G'day, I'm Rusty.

Well, to be honest, the next couple of weeks are shaping up to be a tough one for us here at Tiririca. We've got a real flat spell on our hands, and it's going to be a while before there's anything worth paddling out for.

Looking at the charts, there's nothing but a string of "poor surf conditions" from this Sunday afternoon all the way through. You're looking at a solid run of at least a week and a half with no real waves to speak of. The swell is tiny, with heights barely scraping 4.9 ft on a good day, and the period is generally short, mostly around 8 seconds or less. That's not gonna give you any push. The combined energy is all over the shop, but even when it hits three digits, like the 351 (moderate energy) on Saturday the 19th, the quality just isn't there. The wind is almost always onshore or cross-onshore, which is just gonna chop it up further.

For the beginner surfers, the water temp is sitting at 79.7°F with a positive anomaly of 2.5°F, so it's a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, which is nice.

There's a glimmer, and I mean a tiny glimmer, around Thursday the 17th afternoon. We see the swell period bump up to 10 seconds, and the combined energy hits 233 (moderate). The wind goes cross-shore, giving us a slight cross-chop. It's only rated as "marginal" but it's the best we get. The swell will be around 3.0 ft from the ESE.

Then, on Friday the 25th of September, we see another marginal morning. The swell is 4.9 ft from the E with a period of 9 seconds, combined energy of 380 (moderate). The wind is light from the ENE, which is onshore. Again, it's just on the edge of being worth a look if you're desperate.

But honestly, there's no standout session in this whole outlook. It's a long blank run. Just keep the board in the car and hope the forecasts change. Tiririca is a consistent beginner spot, so this quiet period is unusual. It tends not to stay poor for long.

Stay patient.
