Current: 2.9 ft @ 9s • 5 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 11 AM–12 PM window before the low tide at 4:45 AM.

Beginner basics
Where to go
Itaúna's main peak is a powerful, contested wave — not a true learning spot. The smaller inside reforms on a small day, well away from the peak, can work for an upper beginner.
What to avoid
Avoid the main Itaúna peak entirely on any size, and any day with WSL events or trials happening (the lineup will be full of pros). Strong rip pulls toward the rocks on the right.
Best beginner conditions
Wait for a small day — waist-high S or SE swell, light N wind, any tide. For a true first session, head to Praia da Vila or Itaúna's far north end on a flat morning.
