Titanzinho Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s heading our way for the next stretch.

Honestly, it’s a grim run for Titanzinho. We’re looking at a solid 16 days of nothing but poor surf conditions. The wind is almost always cross or cross-shore, and the chop is a constant problem. The swell is coming from the east and east-northeast, which is exactly the wrong direction for this spot – it needs swell from the north. The wave energy is mostly weak, hanging around in the low hundreds (121, 81, 92), and only a couple of times bumping into moderate territory (279, 208). But with the wind state and the poor scores, none of it is worth paddling out for.

The only days that see a cleaner look are the mornings from July 16th through to the 29th, when the wind goes cross-offshore from the SSE or SE. That cleans up the faces, but the swell is still small, ranging from 4 ft to 6 ft, and the period is a short, weak 6 to 7 seconds. There’s no real punch to it. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so no wetsuit drama, but that’s the only highlight.

The standout, if you can call it that, would be the morning of July 16th. It’s the cleanest the lineup will look, with a 6 ft swell from the east, a period of 7 seconds, and the wave energy hitting a moderate 279. Still, that east swell is not what Titanzinho wants. The other mornings that follow are a similar story – clean, but meager. For a beginner, the 5 ft to 6 ft days might be a little too much with the short period, and for an expert, there’s just no quality.

Because this spot is a reef and very consistent, it’s a real bummer to see it on a blank run like this. But it happens. Don’t give up on it – forecasts can change, and the next window might bring the north swell we need. For now, you’re better off finding something else to do.

Rusty.
