Character

01

Foz do Lizandro is defined by river-mouth left + right sandbar peaks over shifting sand banks beside the lizandro outlet. The shape can change with swell angle, period and the active section, so the live score should always be paired with a visual check from shore.

Best setup

02

W–NW swell, e–se offshore and moving mid tide · bank dependent form the profile baseline. SWELLRADAR treats 0.5–2.1 m as a working range, not a guarantee of breaking-wave size.
