Current: 2.8 ft @ 9s • 6 mph wind. wave height is okay but not doing the heavy lifting period has some energy but isn't classic groundswell light wind is keeping things clean wind direction is generally helping the shape
Rideable chest-high surf with offshore winds keeping the faces clean. Best chance is the 1 PM–2 PM window before the low tide at 4:45 AM.

Beginner basics
Where to go
Itacoatiara is one of Brazil's heaviest beach breaks — deep water cove, big drops, hollow shorebreak. There is no beginner zone here. Watch from the rocks and surf elsewhere.
What to avoid
The entire lineup. The shorebreak has injured experienced surfers; the rip pulls hard out the right side of the cove. On any day over chest-high it is genuinely dangerous.
Best beginner conditions
Itacoatiara is never beginner-friendly. Drive 30 minutes to Itaipu or learn at Copacabana/Leblon on a small day instead.
