The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the cards for our stretch of coast over the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – it's a pretty flat and frustrating outlook for Titanzinho. We're looking at a long, drawn-out stretch of poor conditions with no real standout sessions on the horizon. The first ten days or so are a write-off, with a lot of the same story: clean-looking mornings but with winds that are just off the wrong angle and a weak, short-period easterly swell that doesn't have any power behind it. The wave energy sits in that moderate range, mostly between 150 and 300, which sounds okay on paper but the 6 to 7-second period means those waves are just gonna be weak and won't hold up.
We do start to see a little more size creep in around Tuesday the 25th and Wednesday the 26th of August, with waves pushing up to 6 feet, but the wind remains a cross or a cross-off breeze at 15 to 22 mph. That's not the clean offshore we're chasing. The swell direction is still coming from the east to east-northeast, which isn't the optimum N direction this reef likes to see for its best shape. So even when the height ticks up a notch, the quality just isn't there for a proper surf.
The only faint glimmer I can see is the morning of Wednesday, the 26th of August. It's clear, we've got a slight cross-off wind from the SE at a fresh 22 mph, the swell is holding at a solid 5 to 6 feet, and the period ticks up to 8 seconds. The wave energy is still moderate at 276, but that's the best combo of size and wind we're gonna see in the entire forecast. It's still not going to be world-class, and the crowds here are *often*, so expect company, but if you're desperate for a paddle, that Wednesday morning is your best bet and the only real day I'd point anyone towards. The water is sitting at a warm 81°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, at least.
For the rest of the run into the end of August and the start of September, it's more of the same: cross-shore chop, 4 to 5-foot waves, and that same weak energy. There's just nothing else worth highlighting. It’s a lean spell.
Stay patient, folks.

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.

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.
