Frequently Asked Questions

What tide is best at Curanipe?

The Curanipe profile favors mid to high tide, ideally between 0.4m and 1.5m on the local tide chart. Compare this preference with the forecast tide and local conditions before choosing a session.

What wind direction is offshore at Curanipe?

The Curanipe profile uses wind from E (90°) as its preferred direction, with an offshore range of 50° to 130°. Wind speed matters too: light winds outside that range can still produce surfable conditions, while strong offshore winds can make takeoffs difficult.

What swell size and direction work best at Curanipe?

The Curanipe scoring profile favors swell from SW (195° to 265°), a swell-height range of 1m to 3m, and a reference period of 16s. These are model inputs, not guaranteed breaking-wave heights or a promise that the surf will suit every ability.
