The Lowdown
Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s in the water for your local zone. It’s a bit of a waiting game, but there’s a couple of small windows to get wet.
The first week or so is a real struggle. We’ve got an east swell running, but the wind is just killing it. Monday, August 31st, the swell is a weak 4ft from the east, but it’s blowing cross-on, and the energy is low at 187. The water temp is a warm 79°, which is pretty normal for this time of year.
Tuesday through Thursday is a right-off. The wind is either onshore, cross-shore, or just plain strong. The swell gets up to 6ft, but with a period of 8 seconds, it’s just a messy, lumpy lineup. The energy gets up to a moderate 670 on Tuesday morning, but it’s not worth it with the wind. This is a beach break, so with that much chop, it’s more of a kite surfing spot right now.
Then, on Friday, September 4th, we get a break. The morning goes glassy – zero wind. The swell drops to 4ft from the east, period 9 seconds, and the energy is a moderate 264. It’s not big, but it will be the cleanest waves we’ve seen. That’s the early standout.
After that, it’s a long dry spell. Saturday through to the following Thursday is all onshore, choppy, or just flat. The swell drops under 3ft, and the periods are short. There’s a solid gap of poor conditions from the 5th to the 11th.
Now, the real one to circle is Saturday, September 12th. The morning is glassy again, with a north wind dropping to 5 km/h. The swell is 4ft from the east-southeast, with an 8-second period, and the energy is a solid 410. It’s still a beach break, but that glassy morning will make it clean. It’s two weeks out, so it’s a long-range call, but it’s the best bet in the whole forecast.
The 15th of September, Tuesday morning, is a last chance. The wind goes light and cross-off from the southwest, with a 3ft swell from the east-southeast. It’s small, but it’s clean. The afternoon gets blown out by a 30 km/h cross-wind, so you’d need to be on it early.
So, to wrap it up: Friday morning the 4th is your early shout, but the one to really watch is Saturday the 12th of September morning. The rest of it, you’ll be fighting the wind.
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.
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.
