Waves at Barracuda Beach Hotel & Villas
Year-round surfing and warm waters are the highlights of Itacaré. The shoulder months September to December and March to June are the best months to surfing in this region, with medium size waves with lots of perfection, light offshore winds and low crowds! The summer (December to March) is characterized by small waves with offshore winds in the morning. Winter, June to September, see bigger waves and constant wind swells, giving a good shape and power to the beach breaks.
The most famous spot of Itacaré is Boca da Barra, a super-long, fun righthander that peels across a sandbank at the mouth of the River Contas. Across the river are 6km of exposed, deserted beach breaks on fine sand backed by coconut trees. Many of these spots are only surfed by a few surfers because of their remote location and limited access. Surf Lessons and Surf Trips to the nearby breaks can be organised at the hotel.
