About Iguape Meio
Facing, offshore wind, exposure, level and swell range are estimated.
The spot faces NE (28°), so it takes swell from the NE. The wind blows offshore from the SW (208°). It is sheltered to the open swell. It suits intermediate surfers and up. It works in 2–9 ft of swell. The sea floor shelves gently: 10 m deep about 450 m out (1 in 47). On a typical 5 ft, 11 s swell the waves here would spill softly. The sea is about 27°C in July, its coldest month (no wetsuit), and 29°C in February, its warmest (no wetsuit). For intermediate surfers the best months are usually March and April, with about 3 good days in 7. From the weather of past years. The town to stay in is Iguape, 0.4 km away (about 5 min by car).
Water about 28°C: no wetsuit. Typical sea temperature for the time of year, not a forecast.
