Surf Match · not scored yetWhy?

We don’t know yet what size of swell works at any of the 8 breaks here, and a score can’t be worked out without it. It has to be checked by someone who knows the breaks — we won’t guess it.

When to go

Thirty-three years of mornings

Every month at the ocean cell offshore: the middle 80% of 33 years of primary-swell readings, and the median — size at sea, not how good the mornings were.

November· 0.6 – 1.4 m offshore

Median primary swell 0.9 m, at about 7 s; the wind sea was glassy or absent on 51% of 7,920 readings across 33 Novs.

The band holds the middle 80% of primary-swell readings at the ocean cell 6 km offshore (p10 to p90), the line the median. It is size at sea, not quality at the break — wind, tide and each break’s own shape are not in it. Read by 5 of the 8 breaks at Florianópolis.

NOT SCORED

No break at Florianópolis is scored yet

A score needs three things for each break: the size of swell that works there, the directions it can come from, and its period — and it can’t run without the size. Of the 8 breaks here, we know the size for 0, the direction for 4 and the period for 0. Each break below shows what we know.
