The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get straight into it. I’ve been looking at the charts for the next couple of weeks, and I gotta be honest with you – it’s a tough stretch. There’s a real gap of good surf here. We’re looking at a solid 16-day run with nothing that’s really worth paddling out for. The conditions are just messy, with cross-shore winds and weak, short-period windswell that doesn’t have any shape.
Let’s talk about the only spot on the radar: Titanzinho. This is a consistent reef break, but it’s not going to fire. The water temp is sitting at 81°, which is about normal for this time of year.
We start on Thursday, 3rd September, and it’s a no-go. The swell is tiny, around 4ft from the east, but with a short period of just 6 seconds, the energy is weak (143). Winds are a moderate cross-shore from the ESE at 16 mph, creating a lumpy cross-chop. It’s poor. This pattern basically locks in for the entire first week. Through Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, the story is the same: 4ft to 5ft of short-period E swell, with persistent cross-shore winds. The combined energy stays in the low to mid 100s, nothing to get excited about.
Moving into the second week, things don’t improve. Monday the 7th is flat and weak. Tuesday the 8th is still poor. By Wednesday the 9th, the swell bumps up to 5ft, and we get a little window of clean conditions with a cross-offshore wind (SE 16 mph). The energy is moderate (200), but the period is still a short 6 seconds, so the waves will be soft and crumbly. Not worth a special trip.
Thursday the 10th and Friday the 11th see the swell holding around 5ft to 6ft, and we get some clean morning windows with cross-offshore winds. The energy picks up into the 200s and 300s, but the period is still just 7 seconds. It’s a bit more push, but the shape won’t be there. For a beginner, 5ft+ is starting to get a bit much, and with the short period, it’ll be a washing machine. For an expert, it’s just not good enough quality.
The weekend of the 12th and 13th is a repeat – moderate energy, cross-shore chop, poor surf. The following week, from the 14th to the 18th, is the same sad story. We see a few mornings with clean conditions, like Tuesday the 15th and Wednesday the 16th, but the swell is small (4ft to 5ft) and weak. The direction is still from the east, which is not the optimum for Titanzinho (it wants swell from the north).
Honestly, folks, there’s no standout session in this entire 16-day window. The combination of east swell, short period, and persistent cross-shore winds is a recipe for frustration. If you’re desperate, maybe the cleanest mornings around the 10th and 11th of September might offer a few grovelly 5ft waves, but don’t expect any power. For the rest of the time, it’s a skip. The blank run is normal for this area when the swell direction is wrong.
Keep an eye on the charts – it tends not to stay this poor for long.
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.
