When to Go
September to November: short wetsuit, air 27°C. December to April: shorts and a lycra (as sun protection), air more than 33°C. April to May: shorty again, air 22°C. May to August: long wetsuit (3.2 mm), air 22°C. When the winds are from the Northeast, the water is not warm.
What to Expect
It's a beach break that actually works like a point break, cause there is an island right in front of the point (1 mile distance from the beach) that shapes the sand bottom perfectly and it makes perfect rights. The waves break far away from the shore (to be a beach break 250m) so you have 100m of flat water to perform progressive freestyle tricks and then perfect waves to rip! It holds every swell size from 2-10 feet (0.5-3m). Near the beach you also have a lagoon that works with every wind direction and it's perfectly flat for freestyle. Waves year around specially in May the waves can get as high as 15 feet (4.5m). People tow-in in this surf area. Kitesurfing on the Lagoa de Ibiraquera is very safe, 0.5-1.7 meters deep, and is pretty flat without obstacles.
