Agua Ize is a surf spot located in a scenic bay, known for its striking rock formations and the natural beauty of the area. The bay provides a sheltered setting, particularly appealing to surfers looking for a break that isn’t overly crowded. Right at the point, there’s an obvious set-up for right-hand point waves, but the conditions need just the right swell to really come alive.
The best time to surf Agua Ize is when the swell comes from the south or southwest, with optimal sizes around 2 feet (0.6 meters). It works well over an uneven reef, which can make for interesting waves when the conditions are right. Surfers can expect mostly right waves that cater to intermediate levels. The ideal winds are from the west, and it can handle low, mid, and high tides, providing different experiences depending on the time of day.
Aside from the surfing, don’t miss the large river that empties into Praia Rei just behind the break, adding to the unique landscape of the spot. It's definitely a place that has a lot going on visually, so even when the waves aren’t perfect, there’s still a lot to appreciate while sitting out on the water.
