The Lowdown
Alright, let's talk about it. The ocean’s in a bit of a funk right now, flat and messy, so we're going to have to be patient. It's just one of those stretches. Water's sitting around 79°, right where it should be for this time of year.
The first real crack at it is on Thursday the 15th. We're looking at a small, clean 2ft wave from the ESE with a 13-second period. With that light offshore wind, it'll be smooth and glassy—perfect for a log or a mid-length. The energy reading is a moderate 259, but don't expect any size. The afternoon will likely get blown out, so make the most of the morning.
Now, the one to circle on the calendar is Tubao (La Union) on Sunday the 16th. That's the standout. We're talking a clean 3-4ft swell from the ESE, and that 12-second period is packing a punch. The combined energy jumps way up to 419, telling you there's some real power backing it up. The light cross-off wind will keep the faces nice and crisp. This is the best chance for a proper session during this whole window. Just be prepared for a bit of a paddle with those longer-period waves.
After that, it fades. The surf gets smaller and the wind turns onshore, turning the surface into a choppy mess. Any clean waves in the second week are a long shot, more of a "maybe" than a solid bet.
So, mark your calendar for the 15th and definitely the 16th. That Sunday morning is the one that'll have you smiling.

Information about the Tubao Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Tubao provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Tubao can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Tubao 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 (Tubao) 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 Tubao 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.
Tubao is 5 km (3 miles) from the city of Salvador. If you plan a holiday in Bahia - Norte, look for hotels and other accommodation in Salvador. Salvador has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
