About Laje do Dramin
Facing, offshore wind, exposure, level and swell range are estimated.
The spot faces SW (217°), so it takes swell from the SW. The wind blows offshore from the NE (37°). 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 13). On a typical 5 ft, 11 s swell the waves here would break hollow. The sea is about 22°C in July, its coldest month (2 mm shorty), and 28°C in February, its warmest (no wetsuit). For beginners the best months are usually May, July, August and September, with about 1 good days in 7. From the weather of past years. The town to stay in is Angra dos Reis, 7.6 km away (about 15 min by car).
Water about 23°C: 2 mm shorty. Typical sea temperature for the time of year, not a forecast.
