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 March–April; April scores 8.3/10 with highs of 25 °C, sea at 25.0 °C and 131 mm of rain.
That matches the median for beaches in Brazil in the same month.
Across the year the sea averages 23.0 °C, warmer than 71% of the coastal beaches in the atlas.
January is the wettest month (252 mm) and August the driest (76 mm); the yearly total is about 1,780 mm.
Daylight runs from 10.5 hours in June to 13.7 hours in December; in mid-April the sun rises at 06:29 and sets at 17:59 local time.
Orientation, sun and shore
The shore faces east-south-east (105°). 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 296°, behind the land.
Sunrise is over the sea in every month.
Straight out to the east-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 28 m deep and 8 m at 3 km. Behind the beach the ground is about 9 m above sea level 500 m inland and 30 m at 1.5 km.
Within 1 km, the land is 79% built-up land, 11% tree cover and 6% grassland (satellite land-cover map, 2021): an urban beach. Water makes up 34% of that circle.
- Built 79%
- Tree 11%
- Grass 6%
- Bare 4%
