January: Mid-Summer Trade Wind Grind
January is the heart of the Brazilian summer, and the South Atlantic subtropical high has a stranglehold on Tramandao. The wind blows from the ENE and NE a combined 47% of the time, which is straight onshore for this ESE-facing beach, leaving just 19% of the time in the ideal offshore WSW-WNW window. The swell machine still runs hot, with 74% of all wave energy arriving from the favorable ENE to SE quadrant, producing an average size of 1.6m (5.2ft) at a punchy 8.1s period. Expect mostly 1-2m (3.3-6.6ft) peaks, with the rare cleaner session coming during early morning offshore breezes before the trades take over. Water temperature is a bath-like 23.8°C, air temps average 24.0°C, and afternoon convective showers contribute to 4.23 mm/day of precipitation.
