This right-hand river break receives an equal mix of groundswells and windswells; however, it can get quite busy when the surf is up, and dangerous rips are a hazard. The best conditions reported for surf at Playa do Carreiro occur when a West-northwest swell combines with an offshore wind direction from the Northeast, and the best time of year for surfing Playa do Carreiro with consistent clean waves (rideable swell with light / offshore winds) is the month of September.
