Lygia is a nice surf spot that caters mostly to beginners and longboarders. It features both Lygia main beach and Little Bay, where surfers can enjoy a chill vibe with small, mushy waves that are perfect for those just starting out. The spot is generally accessible and can be a good choice for a laid-back surf session.

The best waves here usually come from the SouthWest, but you can also catch some rides from the South and West. It handles swell sizes around 1ft (0.3 meters), which makes it a useful spot when conditions aren’t favorable elsewhere. The waves tend to break over sand, producing beach breaks that give surfers the option to ride left or right. If you're planning your session, the preferable wind direction is NorthEast, which can help shape the waves nicely. Regardless of your skill level, you can find good waves during low, mid, and high tides, making it a flexible spot for catching some fun rides.

If you're a beginner, Lygia is definitely worth a visit. Those small, mellow waves help build confidence while allowing newer surfers to work on their skills. Just make sure to check the forecast for the best swell conditions before heading out.
