About Guriri
Facing, offshore wind, exposure, level and swell range are estimated.
The spot faces E (92°), so it takes swell from the E. The wind blows offshore from the W (272°). It is exposed to the open swell. It suits intermediate surfers and up. It works in 2–8 ft of swell. The sea floor shelves steeply: 10 m deep about 200 m out (1 in 18). On a typical 5 ft, 11 s swell the waves here would break hollow. The sea is about 24°C in July, its coldest month (no wetsuit), and 28°C in February, its warmest (no wetsuit). For intermediate surfers the best month is usually June, with about 3 good days in 7. From the weather of past years. The town to stay in is Sao Mateus.
Water about 26°C: no wetsuit. Typical sea temperature for the time of year, not a forecast.
