The Climate in “Brazil”

“Itacare” is located 60 km from “Ilheus”, one of the main urban centres of “Bahia”, northeast part of Brazil.

“Itacare” is a town with roughly 20.000 inhabitants, joyful people who are blessed by their natural surroundings. Itacaré’s beaches are as paradisiacal as in the rest of Brazil. The temperature in winter varies between 20ºC and 24ºC and in summer around 28ºC. The river “Contas” is also a local attraction with its small streams where you can enjoy golden sunrises and sunsets. It is because of these excellent natural surroundings that Extreme Sports Café has chosen Brazil Itacare to offer Surfing Camps for Beginner to Experts.

In Brazil climatic conditions can change at any time, big swells can come any time of the year. Due to its diverse sea floor and geographical conditions, “Itacare” is considered one of the best places to surf in Brazil…
The great thing about “Itacare” is that you can find nice and easy beach breaks or big waves on shallow coral reefs. There are over 10 surfing spots. This is why it is called the Brazilian Hawaii...

Summer. December-March.
In the summer we get small swells and varying wave sizes between 1mt to 1,5mt. Sometimes a winter type swell comes in, but the heat is intense and the wind blows on-shore in the afternoons. Luckily the wind is always offshore early in the morning, which helps to create beautiful tubes.
The busy streets of “Itacare” are full of tourists and the nightlife is wild…

Autumn. March-June.
In the autumn waves vary between 1 and 2 meters. The good news is that the surfing crowd is smaller and there are fewer tourists on the streets. The weather can be sunny and cloudy.

Winter. June-September.
The winter waves are predominantly medium to big waves, between 1 and 3mt. The temperature can get as low as 20ºC but “Itacare” turns into a real “Surf City” attracting the best Brazilian surfers. The variety and consistency of “Itacare” breaks offer different kinds of waves with a small crowd during “big” days and in the morning… since the nights are always wild…

Spring. September-December
Conditions are similar to autumn. Waves get smaller but gain perfection, especially in the morning. It gets crowded only on weekends so you can take advantage of the morning offshore wind to catch some nice tubes.
