About Brava do Camburi
Facing, offshore wind, exposure, level and swell range are estimated.
The spot faces SE (156°), so it takes swell from the SE. The wind blows offshore from the NW (336°). 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 steeply: 10 m deep about 200 m out (1 in 18). 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 27°C in January, its warmest (no wetsuit). The town to stay in is Trindade, 7.9 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.
