How we read the waves
We use NOAA’s WAVEWATCH III (GFS-Wave) model offshore of the peninsula and estimate how much of that swell reaches each beach section from the coastline orientation, open-water distance and wave period. Wind is part of the rating: offshore wind cleans the waves up; onshore wind makes them choppy.
In general, south and south-east swells hit Geribá, Tucuns and José Gonçalves hardest; east and north-east swells favour Praia Brava. Bay beaches such as Tartaruga, Ossos and Armação are almost always calm.
