About Praia do Silveira

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

The spot faces SE (116°), so it takes swell from the SE. The wind blows offshore from the NW (296°). 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 moderately: 10 m deep about 250 m out (1 in 25). On a typical 5 ft, 11 s swell the waves here would crumble. 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 Garopaba, 2.2 km away (4 min by car). 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).
