About Tupira Mira

Facing, offshore wind, exposure, level and swell range are estimated.

The spot faces NE (40°), so it takes swell from the NE. The wind blows offshore from the SW (220°). It is exposed to the open swell. It suits intermediate surfers and up. It works in 2–8 ft of swell. The sea floor shelves steeply: 10 m deep about 150 m out (1 in 14). On a typical 5 ft, 11 s swell the waves here would break hollow. The sea is about 29°C in February, its coldest month (no wetsuit), and 30°C in January, its warmest (no wetsuit). For intermediate surfers the best months are usually January, February and March, with about 1 good days in 7. From the weather of past years. The town to stay in is Mewok.

Water about 30°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).
