About Canal de Vitória
Facing, offshore wind, exposure, level and swell range are estimated.
The spot faces E (86°), so it takes swell from the E. The wind blows offshore from the W (266°). It is sheltered to the open swell. It suits beginners and up. It works in 2–10 ft of swell. The sea floor shelves steeply: 10 m deep about 150 m out (1 in 14). On a typical 5 ft, 11 s swell the waves here would break hollow. The sea is about 23°C in July, its coldest month (2 mm shorty), and 27°C in March, its warmest (no wetsuit). The town to stay in is Vitória, 3.2 km away (about 10 min by car). Within 5 km we also list 4 surf spots and 1 wind sports spot.
Water about 24°C: no wetsuit. Typical sea temperature for the time of year, not a forecast.
