Lomba do Sabão

Reviewed 22 Oct 2026 · not observation-validated

Published sources reviewed by SWELLRADAR, not validation against measured breaking waves. Directional references are qualitative ranking inputs, not surveyed optima. The inherited 0.6–3.0 m offshore-model band is unchanged, not a measured local surf limit or safe learner range. The retained approximate map pin is not a surveyed takeoff or approved entry. Offshore sampling does not model individual sand banks or island shelter. Local conditions, notices and personal ability override this profile. The firsthand Lomba guide describes broad swell exposure with variable Campeche Island filtering. SE is only a qualitative reference, not a complete acceptance window or measured optimum; no island attenuation factor is invented. The guide reports NE shelter as well as western-quadrant offshore winds; the separate local guide favours N/NE specifically for Lomba. These descriptions do not establish a unique numeric wind optimum, so directional wind scoring and the opposite-swell fallback remain off. The account of fuller waves at very high tide does not establish a normalized tide range or movement preference: no phase bonus, preferred window or adaptive beach fallback is added. The local guide's Intermediate classification is retained rather than transferring the main peak's Advanced grade or treating lesson use in small surf as unconditional learner clearance. The approximate OSM marker is retained. A ten-kilometre southeast model request is a geometric sea-sampling choice, not a measured swell optimum, bank forecast or guarantee about provider snapping. Sources do not establish current access, fishing permissions, patrol coverage or water-quality clearance.

  Original local account and own surf session: sand, rights/lefts, changing shallow banks, conditional small-wave learner use, island filtering, NE shelter and western-quadrant winds; high-tide softness is not a measured tide optimum

  Local guide distinguishes Lomba's rights/lefts, N/NE wind and Intermediate classification from Campeche Main; main-peak swell, tide and Advanced recommendations are not transferred
