Long-term monthly averages: air from NASA POWER (2001–2020), sea from NOAA OISST (1991–2020); records are the extremes of 2001–2020. How the index works.
When to go
The beach-day index peaks in December–April; March scores 8.1/10 with highs of 26 °C, sea at 25.6 °C and 133 mm of rain.
That matches the median for beaches in Brazil in the same month.
At its warmest the water here is 0.8 °C cooler than the Brazil median for February (27.0 °C).
Across the year the sea averages 22.2 °C, warmer than 69% of the coastal beaches in the atlas.
January is the wettest month (171 mm) and August the driest (81 mm); the yearly total is about 1,400 mm.
Daylight runs from 10.4 hours in June to 13.8 hours in December; in mid-March the sun rises at 06:14 and sets at 18:32 local time.
Orientation, sun and shore
The shore faces north (352°). Open water fills about 36% of the horizon close by, which makes it an open stretch of shore.
The sun sets over the sea in May–August; in mid-June it goes down at 17:27 local time on a bearing of 296°.
Sunrise is over the sea in May–August.
Straight out to the north the next coast is roughly 50 km away, so waves are mostly wind-driven sea rather than ocean swell.
About 1 km offshore the sea is roughly 25 m deep and 24 m at 3 km. Behind the beach the ground is about 12 m above sea level 500 m inland and 34 m at 1.5 km.
Within 1 km, the land is 50% built-up land, 43% tree cover and 5% grassland (satellite land-cover map, 2021): an urban beach. Water makes up 49% of that circle.
- Built 50%
- Tree 43%
- Grass 5%
