About Regencia
Facing, offshore wind, exposure, level and swell range are estimated.
The spot faces S (161°), so it takes swell from the S. The wind blows offshore from the N (341°). It is exposed 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 600 m out (1 in 60). On a typical 5 ft, 11 s swell the waves here would spill softly. The sea is about 23°C in August, its coldest month (2 mm shorty), and 27°C in January, its warmest (no wetsuit). The town to stay in is Regência, 0 km away (about 5 min by car).
Water about 25°C: no wetsuit. Typical sea temperature for the time of year, not a forecast.
The score is the conditions only: the journey, the price and the partners never change it (how we score, how we earn).

about US$1,040–US$2,000 each · 6 nights, 2 sharing: flights, hire car, stay, food, board and wetsuit.
