Spot intelligence.

Perequê-Açu is an urban Ubatuba beach, with the Barra Seca river at its left boundary. Municipal teaching and small-wave sessions establish a supervised learning context, not unrestricted beginner suitability. Intermediate is a conservative gate for independent recommendations across this unsplit beach and its unchanged generic model band. Check the actual peak, water conditions and local instructions before entering.

Profile sources & limits

Reviewed 19 Oct 2026 · not observation-validated

Published sources reviewed by SWELLRADAR, not validation against measured breaking waves. Swell-from and wind-from bearings are independent qualitative ranking references, not surveyed optima. The inherited generic 0.6–3.0 m offshore-model bands remain unchanged: they are not measured local surf limits, safe learner ranges or wave-face conversions. Approximate map pins are place markers, not surveyed takeoffs or approved entry routes. Explicit sea requests sample offshore models. Local notices, actual banks, currents and personal ability override the profile. The original local guide identifies E swell, also ESE, with southern energy filtered by headlands; this is not a measured exposure function. Its explicit NW offshore description and W–NW table supply an independent qualitative wind reference. Neither that guide nor the municipal sources establishes a preferred tide phase, so no phase/motion bonus, preferred window or adaptive beach fallback is added. Guide wave-size examples are not offshore-model limits. A channel described beside rocks is not an approved entry route. The municipal tourism and surf-school pages establish identity and a teaching history, not current water-quality clearance, patrol staffing or lesson availability. The retained map pin does not locate a particular bank or river channel.

Character · setup · local read

Character

Praia do Perequê-Açu is defined by lefts and rights · changing beach peaks over sand banks · rocks at the right-hand margin. 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

E · ESE also reported swell, nw · qualitative w–nw sector and bank-specific · check locally form the profile baseline. SWELLRADAR retains 0.6–3.0 m as an offshore-model ranking band, not a measured local surf limit or a breaking-wave prediction.

Lineup read

Choose a peak that matches your experience and reassess it as tide and crowd change. Pay particular attention to river-borne wood and sharp debris, rocks at the right-hand margin, mixed-ability peaks and swimmers. Local signs and advice always take priority.

Data note

Model data unavailable

SWELLRADAR withholds numerical conditions, scores and surf windows until a quality-checked marine forecast is available.
