The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight up – the outlook for the next 16 days at Titanzinho is a proper bummer. We’ve got a stretch of small, weak, onshore-affected surf that just doesn’t want to come good. The first real chance of a wave doesn’t show up until Monday the 11th, so you’re looking at a gap of two days with nothing worth getting wet for.
The main issue is the wind. It’s blowing hard from the east and southeast, mostly cross or cross-shore, which is murdering any chance of clean lines. The swell is tiny, coming from the east with a short period of just 6 to 7 seconds – that’s windswell, not groundswell, so the waves are weak and crumbly. The combined wave energy is moderate at best, sitting between 129 and 354, which translates to a lot of bumpy, low-energy mush.
For a couple of the cleaner morning windows – like Tuesday the 12th, Thursday the 14th, and Friday the 15th – we see a cross-offshore breeze and clean conditions. But the swell tops out at only 5ft to 6ft, and with that short period, it’s still not going to be thrilling. The water temp is about average for this time of year, no big anomaly to report, so it’ll feel normal for August.
Honestly, none of these sessions are worth calling a standout. The wind is just too strong and too cross for the reef to work its magic. If I had to point to the least bad window, it’d be the early mornings on Thursday the 13th or Sunday the 16th, when the cross-offshore wind cleans it up a bit, but the swell is still weak and short. The closer we get to the 21st and 22nd of August, the swell picks up a touch – up to 6ft – but the wind stays cross and lumpy, so it’s still not surfable in any quality sense.
For anyone thinking of paddling out, you’d be fighting a fresh breeze and a cross-shore chop. This setup is honestly more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. It’s a pretty blank run for us here – but that’s not unusual for this spot when the trade winds get up and the swell direction is all wrong.
Keep an eye on it, because forecasts change, but right now, there’s nothing to get excited about.
Rusty.

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.
