When is the best surfing season in Itacaré?
For complete beginners the best season is probably November to April, since the waves are smaller (2 to 4 feet) then during the Brazilian winter. On the other hand please note that Brazilian summer holidays extend from Christmas until two weeks after Carnival, with many Brazilian tourists around (especially surfers…), and much higher lodging prices than during the low season. From April to September, rain is more frequent and from June on waves get bigger, between 3 and 6 feet (up to 9 feet in July/August). Beaches and peaks are crowd free then and surfing conditions often epic. Our preferred surfing seasons are March/April and October/November with generally consistent surfing conditions, perfect water and air temperatures, and crowd free peaks.
