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 25.9 °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 17:51 local time.
Orientation, sun and shore
The shore faces south-south-east (155°). Open water fills about 56% of the horizon close by, which makes it an exposed spot with water on most sides.
The sun sets over the sea in November–January; in mid-December it goes down at 18:46 local time on a bearing of 244°.
Sunrise is over the sea in every month.
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 8 m deep and 12 m at 3 km, a shallow, gently shelving sea floor. Behind the beach the ground is about 0 m above sea level 500 m inland and 11 m at 1.5 km, a flat coastal plain.
Within 1 km, the land is 49% built-up land, 25% bare ground, sand or rock and 16% grassland (satellite land-cover map, 2021): an urban beach. Water makes up 85% of that circle.
- Built 49%
- Bare 25%
- Grass 16%
- Tree 10%
