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 February–April and August–November; April scores 8.3/10 with highs of 24 °C, sea at 25.5 °C and 92 mm of rain.
That matches the median for beaches in Brazil in the same month.
Across the year the sea averages 23.7 °C, warmer than 73% of the coastal beaches in the atlas.
January is the wettest month (228 mm) and August the driest (38 mm); the yearly total is about 1,420 mm.
Daylight runs from 10.7 hours in June to 13.6 hours in December; in mid-April the sun rises at 06:13 and sets at 17:47 local time.
Orientation, sun and shore
The shore faces south-west (215°). Open water fills about 33% of the horizon close by, which makes it an open stretch of shore.
The sun sets over the sea in September–March; in mid-December it goes down at 18:42 local time on a bearing of 244°.
Straight out to the south-west the next coast is roughly 30 km away, so waves are mostly wind-driven sea rather than ocean swell.
About 1 km offshore the sea is roughly 7 m deep, a shallow, gently shelving sea floor. Behind the beach the ground is about 27 m above sea level 500 m inland and 174 m at 1.5 km, with hills rising behind it.
Within 1 km, the land is 67% tree cover, 26% built-up land and 5% grassland (satellite land-cover map, 2021): a partly built-up setting. Water makes up 52% of that circle.
