To avoid being part of the flock, walk through stunning scenery for 20-40mins to find an uncrowded spot. Prainha is the closest example to Itacaré, a quality beachbreak plus a potential left pointbreak on the northern headland. Neighbouring São José is a slightly smaller beach, a further 10min walk away, keeping crowds lower.

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.
