Jacone (Ponta da Sacada)

Jacone (Ponta da Sacada) is an exposed Atlantic-facing beach break known for consistent surf with a strong emphasis on heavy, fast, very powerful waves. February is highlighted as a key month for both consistent surf and relatively high clean-wave frequency, while summer can trend toward flatter conditions. The Ponta da Sacada section is described as creating a more defined peak but also concentrates the local hazards. Surf conditions are often characterized by hollow, intense barrels with waves that break very close to shore. The most commonly stated working tide is mid tide, and the spot is described as having high wave power with an overall exposed setup. For swell, sources point to southeast as a key direction, and one dataset additionally provides a practical swell-height window (around 1 to 3 meters). Safety considerations are a major part of the spot profile. Hazards reported for the area include rocks and sharks, alongside strong rip currents and a heavy shore break. The very close-to-shore breaking nature makes the entry/line-up situation unforgiving, and warnings explicitly discourage beginner-level entry. Crowd and seasonal behavior also matter: weekends and holiday periods can be crowded, even though quieter weekday sessions are possible outside the busier periods. Windwise, the Northeast is repeatedly indicated as the best direction for sessions; local wind behavior can groom the waves into more barrel-like form under favorable offshore conditions.
