The most consistent beach in this zone is Maracaipe, which hosted the 2000 World Surfing Games. Although the middle of the beach is usually the best, there are dozens of other sand banks to choose from. The wave tends to roll through from outside banks reforming several times on its journey to the close-out shore break. High tide tends to be better but on the whole the wave quality is poor.

This graph shows the percentage of days that had a ridable wind swell (7 seconds period or more) or groundswell (10 seconds period or more) of over 3ft. It also shows the dominant wind direction. Not all of these days will neccessarily give great surf, and very short lived wind swells or longer period secondary swells may produce surf not recorded, but it gives a clear idea of the seasonal trend and a rough guide to the chances of scoring something ridable.
