The Lowdown
G'day, it's Rusty here. Let's be straight with you about Tiririca. The next 16 days are a tough watch. We're looking at a long, frustrating stretch of poor surf. The wind is a constant problem – onshore or cross-onshore from the east, northeast, or southeast nearly every day, messing up what little swell there is. There's a gap of about 12 days where I can't recommend a paddle. Things don't really turn around until the very end.
For the first week and a half, from Saturday the 5th to Friday the 18th of September, it's all about knee-high to maybe waist-high slop. Swell heights sit between 2ft and 4ft, mostly from the east or southeast, with short, weak periods of 6 to 8 seconds. The wave energy is low to moderate, ranging from about 105 to 358. The wind is never right; it's blowing onshore or cross-onshore from the north to east. It's choppy, bumpy, and just not worth paddling out for.
There's a bit of a spike in size on Tuesday the 15th, with swell up to 7ft from the southeast and energy hitting 521 (strong). But don't get too excited. That swell bumps into a cross-onshore wind from the east-southeast, making it a messy, blown-out wall of whitewater. That's more of a kite-surfing day, not a clean paddle-in wave.
The only light in the tunnel is the final morning, Sunday the 20th of September. It's right at the very tail of the forecast. We get a 2ft swell from the southeast, but the magic is in the wind. We've got glassy conditions with a light SSE breeze at 3 mph. The wave energy will be moderate (249), and the period stretches out to 11 seconds, giving the swell some real shape. This is the standout. For a beginner-friendly break, clean, glassy conditions are a massive positive. It'll be slow, the waves will be small and clean on a high tide, but it'll be the best thing on offer in this whole 16-day window. It's rarely worth waiting that long, but that Sunday morning might just surprise you. Because this spot is listed as consistent, don't lose the faith; we know the surf will return.

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.
