Best Surf Spots

Arpoador

Filed Under: Rio de Janeiro Leave a Comment

When the swell is good it’s by far the best spot in rio: powerful waves long walls and barrels. However the crowd is nervous but you can escape from it some days (try very early or just before sun going down).

Barra da Tijuca

Filed Under: Rio de Janeiro Leave a Comment

In a hot weekend the beach is crowded with beautiful people, after the surf and when its flat the night is very good, you can’t get bored there.

Prainha

Filed Under: Rio de Janeiro Leave a Comment

It’s a paradise spot. It’s a small beach with a virgin forest around. It is the first and unique beach park in Rio. Good parking, bathrooms, stores, snack bars.

Grumari

Filed Under: Rio de Janeiro Leave a Comment

Grumari is the best surf beach in rio for surfers who hate crowds.. really cool place at the end of the beach you can easy paddle out.

Mocambique

Filed Under: Florianopolis, Santa Catarina Leave a Comment

Mocambique is the longest beach of Florianopolis and one of the best barrels machine in Brazil.

Praia Mole

Filed Under: Florianopolis, Santa Catarina Leave a Comment

This the “Fashion” beach nowadays, the waves themselves are pretty good, with the left side producing good lefts during E,SE swells.

Joaquina

Filed Under: Florianopolis, Santa Catarina Leave a Comment

Probably the best and most consistent wave in the Island. It is the capital of surfing in Southern Brazil, handles almost any swell, but the best conditions are E swell with NE wind or W wind.

Campeche

Filed Under: Florianopolis, Santa Catarina Leave a Comment

The Praia do Campeche itself it is located in front of the Campeche Island, the road leaves you directly there. When it is breaking that’s the place to be.

Lagoinha do Leste

Filed Under: Florianopolis, Santa Catarina Leave a Comment

Some people claim it as the most consistent spot in Florianópolis, but only a few can check it out everyday. The place is all preserved, pretty landscape, hard trail though.

Guarda do Embau

Filed Under: Guarda do Embau, Santa Catarina Leave a Comment

guarda do embau

Discovered by surfers in early 70’s this place is amazing! Night life, girls, easy going people and excellent surf conditions make Guarda one of the most popular surfing spots in Brazil.

Silveira

Filed Under: Garopaba, Santa Catarina Leave a Comment

Silveira can hold big south swells and offers epic days with long right handers on the point. The take off is tough and near the rocks, but once you’ve made it, just enjoy the track.

Ferrugem

Filed Under: Garopaba, Santa Catarina Leave a Comment

Praia da Ferrugem

Ferrugem is well known as one of the most consistent waves of Brazil, always has a surfable wave. You can choose from the left corner (the best peak), the middle beach or the south corner (with south wind).

Praia do Rosa

Filed Under: Garopaba, Santa Catarina Leave a Comment

Excellent long waves in crystal water and plenty of beautiful people on the sand, especially girls! It’s a great place to spend the whole day. Get there early if you plan to surf without many people.

Ibiraquera

Filed Under: Imbituba, Santa Catarina Leave a Comment

Praia de ibiraquera

Don’t miss the chance to surf this place. It’s known as one of the longest left hander of Brazil. Although the left hander is the wave, you can surf right hander that works in multiple peaks in the middle of the beach.

Praia da Vila

Filed Under: Imbituba, Santa Catarina Leave a Comment

Vila is one of the best waves in Brazil, it’s a strong right hander that offers long walls after take off and ends with a sick and long barrel. Although the right hander is “The wave”, you can surf the left hander as well, the left is usually longer than the right and offers infinite opportunities for manoeuvres. On the small days the left hander works better. Get there early, before the crowds.

Tereza

Filed Under: Farol de Santa Marta, Santa Catarina Leave a Comment

On east swells, long right-handers can be found on the point break, the beach break also offers high quality lefts and some rights.

Cardoso

Filed Under: Farol de Santa Marta, Santa Catarina Leave a Comment

One of best waves in Brazil, can hold big swell size. Long walls alternating with hollow sections.

Leme

Filed Under: Rio de Janeiro Leave a Comment

Works in good conditions very occasionally on big swells. It is a good place for beginners as the waves tend to be small most days. If you are a learner you should check this place.

Copacabana

Filed Under: Rio de Janeiro Leave a Comment

It’s a very powerful wave when the big swell comes, with a lot of local bodyboarders. A hard drop and search for the tube, because it’s the only way out.

Praia do Diabo

Filed Under: Rio de Janeiro Leave a Comment

There is a lot of bodyboards in Diabo, it is a quick wave, there are a lots of barrels. To the left side of Diabo there is the “Inferno” that many times is better than Diabo, but in Inferno is a militar area so you can’t sit on the sand.

Ipanema

Filed Under: Rio de Janeiro Leave a Comment

Really friendly in the middle of the beach. Mostly a tourist zone. The thing about ipanema is that the waves change a lot…one day you´ll get the best barrels of your life…the other you´ll regret waking up early.
