Barra do Sahy faces SSW and catches S to SW swell; its short, soft peaks rarely run past 50 m and break at any tide. NNE wind is offshore. Bananas Point, the rocky western point, turns on only a few days a year in big S to SE swell and is a left for experienced surfers. Beginners should pick the middle of the beach on a 0.5 to 1 m day, away from the river mouth and the point.
