About Itapirubá

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

The spot faces E (76°), so it takes swell from the E. The wind blows offshore from the W (256°). It is sheltered to the open swell. It suits intermediate surfers and up. It works in 3–13 ft of swell. The sea floor shelves gently: 10 m deep about 650 m out (1 in 65). On a typical 5 ft, 11 s swell the waves here would spill softly. The sea is about 17°C in July, its coldest month (3/2 wetsuit), and 26°C in February, its warmest (no wetsuit). The town to stay in is Laguna. Within 5 km we also list 1 surf spot.

Water about 22°C: 2 mm shorty. 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).
