It's not a hard wave. It can get hollow and fast on good days, so that will probably ask little more of the surfer. The wave is normally not very good on very low tides, it closes out allot and really pounds. We don't get all that much offshore, mostly during the morning time but quite always the wind will turn before noon. The best months are surely April, may, August and September that's when the winds are lighter and offshore is more cumin. If you got a car you can park it right in front of the brake. You can see it from the line up.
Be careful on the take off because there is one rock that sticks up after the first 20 mtr of the wave. The reef is shallow and there are a lot sea urchins. The spot is located one street north after the road that leads to the Catussaba Hotel. It's almost out side the city limits of Salvador so if your staying more towards downtown it's a 30 to 40 min drive to the north beaches of Salvador, but definitely where the best and most consistent surf in town is.
