Toninhas does not suit beginners. This is the forecast for intermediates, so you can see what it does.

About Toninhas
Facing, offshore wind, exposure, level and swell range are estimated.
The spot faces E (101°), so it takes swell from the E. The wind blows offshore from the W (281°). It is sheltered to the open swell. It suits intermediate surfers and up, because of a steep sea floor. It works in 4–15 ft of swell. The sea floor shelves very steeply: 10 m deep about 100 m out (1 in 8). On a typical 5 ft, 11 s swell the waves here would break hollow. The sea is about 21°C in August, its coldest month (2 mm shorty), and 27°C in February, its warmest (no wetsuit). The town to stay in is Ubatuba, 7.6 km away (about 15 min by car). Within 5 km we also list 4 surf spots and 1 wind sports spot.
Water about 23°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).
