Itanhaem in Sao Paulo is an exposed beach break that has fairly consistent surf. Winter is the best time of year for surfing here. Works best in offshore winds from the north northwest. Groundswells are more common than windswells and the best swell direction is from the southeast. The beach break offers mainly left hand waves. Surfable at all stages of the tide. It's often crowded here. Overcrowding can even make surfing hazardous.
