Tiririca Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, this is Rusty. Let’s have a look at the next couple of weeks for Tiririca.

Right off the bat, we’ve got a bit of a slow start. The first real chance to paddle out doesn’t come until the morning of Wednesday, July 8th. The swell is tiny, only 2ft from the SSE with a period of 11 seconds, and the energy is low. The morning wind is light NW, which is cross-off, and the water is a warm 79°, about average for this time of year. The surf is clean, but honestly, it’s very ordinary. For a beginner spot that’s consistent, it’s something to get wet on, but nothing special. The afternoons worsen quickly as the wind swings onshore.

Thursday the 9th looks even more marginal with a bit more size but poor cross-onshore winds. Friday morning, July 10th, starts to show some promise. We get a cross-off wind from the S and a cleaner 4ft swell from the SE. The energy picks up to moderate, and the surf is described as clean. For a brief window, it’s rideable, but the quality drops off again in the afternoon.

The period from Saturday, July 11th into the following week is pretty disappointing. We see waist-high waves with mostly cross or onshore breezes. The best morning window is Saturday, with a 4ft SE groundswell (13-second period) and light NNW cross conditions, giving a moderate energy. It’s marginal but clean-looking. After that, the consistency fades as we move through Sunday and Monday, with energy dropping off. The wind remains a problem, and the surf quality is listed as poor for most sessions.

Honestly, there’s a long gap of flat or poor conditions through the middle of the month. It’s not until Wednesday, July 22nd that things get interesting. That morning, a solid 6ft swell from the SSE arrives. The period is 9 seconds, so it’s a short-period wind swell, but the energy reading is strong. The wind is a light SSW cross-off, and the report says “expect very good surf conditions.” This is the standout. For Tiririca, which is exposed and consistent, this morning window is the best on offer across the whole 16 days. It won’t be too big for beginners at 6ft, but it’s a healthy size for this break. The afternoon blows out, so get on it early.

After that peak, Thursday the 23rd still has some leftover 6ft swell but with cross winds from the SSE. It’s more marginal and will be choppier.

Overall, there are two good mornings to target: Friday, July 10th’s clean session and the clear winner on Wednesday, July 22nd. The rest of the time, you’re either chasing tiny clean waves or dealing with onshore chop.
