The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – this 16-day window for Titanzinho is a tough one. There’s really no good surf to get excited about. The whole period is a write-off for quality waves, so I’m just going to tell you what’s happening.
From Friday the 17th of July right through to Saturday the 1st of August, it’s a long, flat, and frustrating run. Every single session is marked as poor surf conditions. The swell is small and weak, with a combined energy that rarely gets above 250 (moderate at best, but mostly weak). The wind is almost always cross or cross-off, never properly offshore, so the surface is going to be a mess – mostly cross-shore chop. The swell period is short, between 5 and 7 seconds, meaning no real push or shape to the waves. It’s basically just bumpy, tiny, and unrideable.
There is no standout day. Nothing comes close. If you’re desperate for a paddle, the cleanest windows are the mornings when the cross-off wind cleans things up a bit, but the swell is so small (0.3 ft to 5 ft) and weak that it’s not worth the drive. The energy is pathetic, with the combined energy often in the low double digits or triple digits that barely register. The biggest swell we see is around 6 ft on Sunday the 19th, but with a 7-second period and cross wind, it’s just a bumpy, messy close-out.
Honestly, this setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. With consistent cross-shore winds and a bit of chop, the kite crew might have a laugh, but for a surfer? Save your energy. This is one of those blank runs that’s pretty normal for Titanzinho when the trade winds are up and the swell is from the wrong direction. The optimum swell is from the north, and we’re getting nothing but east and northeast dribble.
Hang in there, mate. Forecasts can change.
Rusty.

Information about the Titanzinho Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Titanzinho provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Titanzinho can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Titanzinho 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 (Titanzinho) 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 Titanzinho 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.
Titanzinho is 13 km (8 miles) from Fortaleza. If you plan a holiday in Ceará, look for hotels and other accommodation in Fortaleza. Fortaleza has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
