About Nova Guarapari
Facing, offshore wind, exposure, level and swell range are estimated.
The spot faces E (97°), so it takes swell from the E. The wind blows offshore from the W (277°). It is exposed to the open swell. It suits intermediate surfers and up. It works in 3–10 ft of swell. The sea floor shelves moderately: 10 m deep about 250 m out (1 in 24). On a typical 5 ft, 11 s swell the waves here would crumble. The sea is about 23°C in July, its coldest month (2 mm shorty), and 26°C in March, 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 Guarapari, 6.8 km away (about 15 min by car).
Water about 24°C: no wetsuit. Typical sea temperature for the time of year, not a forecast.
