Lauro de Freitas' main beach picks up most south and southeast swells, so it breaks on most days. Peaks go both ways over sand between reef patches and work best toward high tide. A west-northwest wind early in the day keeps it clean; by afternoon the trade wind usually blows it out. Waves rarely pass 1.5 m.
