When to go
The beach-day index peaks in March–June and August–October; April scores 8.6/10 with highs of 25 °C, sea at 25.6 °C and 101 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 (227 mm) and August the driest (39 mm); the yearly total is about 1,480 mm.
Daylight runs from 10.7 hours in June to 13.6 hours in December; in mid-April the sun rises at 06:12 and sets at 17:46 local time.
Orientation, sun and shore
The shore faces south-west (230°). Open water fills about 42% of the horizon close by, which makes it an open stretch of shore.
The sun sets over the sea in every month; in mid-June it goes down at 17:20 local time on a bearing of 295°.
The opposite shore is only about 12.0 km away to the south-west, which keeps the water sheltered from big waves.
About 1 km offshore the sea is roughly 16 m deep and 163 m at 3 km. Behind the beach the ground is about 2 m above sea level 500 m inland and 13 m at 1.5 km, a flat coastal plain.
Within 1 km, the land is 62% tree cover, 25% bare ground, sand or rock and 9% built-up land (satellite land-cover map, 2021): a mixed, lightly developed setting. Water makes up 88% of that circle.
