Out of Itacaré's 12 beaches, Tiririca is only 10 minutes walk from downtown, with a reputation for strongly disputed beachbreak at the year-round, regular venue for regional and state championships. The neighbouring beaches like Resende, Costa and Ribeira get some surf but don't compare in the consistency stakes. Most of the southern beaches are rocky and framed within undulating rainforest topography. Between Tiririca Beach and the beaches of Ilhéus, 50km (31mi) south along Estrada EcolÛgica, there are a plenty of uncrowded, pristine beaches. These beaches benefit from a deep coastal trench, aiding power and shape.

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.
