About Shore break expresso escorpiao
Facing, offshore wind, exposure, level and swell range are estimated.
The spot faces SE (152°), so it takes swell from the SE. The wind blows offshore from the NW (332°). 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 moderately: 10 m deep about 300 m out (1 in 30). On a typical 5 ft, 11 s swell the waves here would crumble. The sea is about 22°C in July, its coldest month (2 mm shorty), and 26°C in February, its warmest (no wetsuit). For intermediate surfers the best months are usually March, April and July, with about 4 good days in 7; in January, November and December, about 2. From the weather of past years. The town to stay in is Rio de Janeiro, 5.3 km away (about 10 min by car). Within 5 km we also list 11 surf spots, 2 wind sports spots and 2 kayak spots.
