Today's Surf Conditions at Rincao
Best Surf Season & Climatology
Best Surf Season (April - August)
Rincao's south-east facing beach is all about the South Atlantic storm machine, and it truly wakes up in autumn and winter. From April through August, average swells sit between 4-5ft (1.2-1.5m), with periods regularly reaching 9-10 seconds and a much higher chance of offshore W/WNW/NW winds. May and June are the crown jewels: ideal surf wind occurs 46 percent of the time, while the average period climbs to 10 seconds. Cold fronts sweeping off the South American continent generate clean, long-period groundswell from the E/ESE/SE/SSE window, and the cooler air keeps the sea breeze weaker.
