When to go
The beach-day index peaks in September–February; November scores 9.1/10 with highs of 29 °C, sea at 27.0 °C and 27 mm of rain.
In November that is 1.5 points above the median of the 659 beaches in Brazil covered by this atlas.
At its warmest the water here is 3.1 °C warmer than the Brazil median for April (25.6 °C).
Across the year the sea averages 27.3 °C, warmer than 83% of the coastal beaches in the atlas.
June is the wettest month (260 mm) and November the driest (27 mm); the yearly total is about 1,430 mm.
Daylight runs from 11.6 hours in June to 12.6 hours in December; in mid-November the sun rises at 04:50 and sets at 17:20 local time.
Orientation, sun and shore
The shore faces north-east (50°). Open water fills about 14% of the horizon close by, which makes it a sheltered cove or bay.
At no time of year does the sun set over the sea here: sunset bearings run from 246° to 293°, behind the land.
Sunrise is over the sea in May–July.
The opposite shore is only about 500 m away to the north-east, which keeps the water sheltered from big waves.
Within 1 km, the land is 47% tree cover, 42% grassland and 8% built-up land (satellite land-cover map, 2021): a largely natural setting. Water makes up 45% of that circle.
- Tree 47%
- Grass 42%
- Built 8%
