The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let me be straight with you – looking at this forecast for the next 16 days, it's a rough run ahead at Titanzinho. Honestly, it’s pretty grim. There isn’t a single day where I’d say "drop everything and go." Every session gets a big fat zero from the numbers. We've got a solid 16-day stretch of poor surf conditions, plain and simple.
The water at Titanzinho is sitting at about 81°F, which is a touch warmer than what we usually expect for this time of year.
We start on Monday, the 17th of August. The swell is coming from the east at 6ft, but the period is a short 7 seconds – that's weak, wind-swell energy, not proper groundswell. The combined energy is only 326, so it's moderate at best, but the wind is a cross-shore at 16 mph, messing up the surface. It's just choppy and poor.
Tuesday the 18th through to Sunday the 24th of August is more of the same. Swell stays small, between 4ft and 6ft, always from the east or east-northeast. Periods are stuck at a dismal 6 to 7 seconds. The wind is either a cross-shore or a cross-offshore, but even the clean-looking morning windows don't save it. The wave energy drops into the 100s and low 200s – weak stuff. It’s just not worth paddling out.
There’s a slight bump in energy on Tuesday the 25th of August, with the swell hitting 6ft from the east and the combined energy jumping to 374. The period is still only 7 seconds, so it’s not quality, but the morning has clean conditions with a cross-offshore wind. Still, the underlying forecast calls it poor surf. For the more experienced crew, 6ft on a reef like Titanzinho could be a bit of a handful, especially with that short period making it dumpy.
From Wednesday the 26th of August all the way through to Tuesday the 1st of September, we’re back in the gutter. Swell hovers around 4ft to 5ft, periods of 6 to 7 seconds, combined energy mostly in the 100s and low 200s. The wind stays cross or cross-offshore, but the wave quality is consistently rated as poor.
Honestly, there’s no standout. No hidden gem. No day to circle on the calendar. This is a blank run. It’s one of those times where the forecast looks bleak, and you just have to wait for the next change. Keep an eye on it, but for now, leave the board in the car.
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.
