When to go
The beach-day index peaks in March–April and September–November; April scores 8.6/10 with highs of 25 °C, sea at 25.8 °C and 98 mm of rain.
In April that is 0.3 points above the median of the 659 beaches in Brazil covered by this atlas.
Across the year the sea averages 23.8 °C, warmer than 74% of the coastal beaches in the atlas.
January is the wettest month (224 mm) and August the driest (39 mm); the yearly total is about 1,410 mm.
Daylight runs from 10.7 hours in June to 13.6 hours in December; in mid-April the sun rises at 06:17 and sets at 17:50 local time.
Orientation, sun and shore
The shore faces south-south-east (165°). Open water fills about 39% of the horizon close by, which makes it an open stretch of shore.
At no time of year does the sun set over the sea here: sunset bearings run from 244° to 295°, behind the land.
Sunrise is over the sea in October–February.
Straight out to the south-south-east there is open water for more than 2,000 km, so the beach is exposed to long ocean swell.
About 1 km offshore the sea is roughly 7 m deep and 12 m at 3 km, a shallow, gently shelving sea floor. Behind the beach the ground is about 12 m above sea level 500 m inland and 15 m at 1.5 km, a flat coastal plain.
Within 1 km, the land is 74% tree cover, 14% built-up land and 7% bare ground, sand or rock (satellite land-cover map, 2021): a largely natural setting. Water makes up 42% of that circle.
- Tree 74%
- Built 14%
- Bare 7%
- Grass 5%
