Araçagi is a surf spot located near São Luís, the capital of Maranhão, Brazil. While the area isn't known for having the best waves in the region, Araçagi stands out as a more reliable choice for surfers looking to catch some rides. The scenery is nice, and the vibe is laid-back, making it a pleasant place to spend some time on the water. It's not a crowded spot, so you can often find some space to enjoy your session.

The best conditions at Araçagi typically come with a northeast swell, though it can also handle swells coming from the north and east. The waves generally break over sand, creating beach breaks that are suitable for beginners. When the swell is around 2 feet (about 0.6 meters), you can expect mostly right and left rides peeling down the sandbanks. The area works nicely with southeast winds, especially during mid to high tide, making those sessions pretty enjoyable.

One of the great things about Araçagi is that it doesn't usually attract a big crowd. If you're looking for a spot where you can practice and enjoy the waves without feeling rushed, this is a decent option. It's perfect for beginners who want to get comfortable on the board, and since the waves aren’t overly challenging, it’s a good place to learn and have fun.
