Fragata is a surf spot located on a picturesque beach that offers a mix of wave types and conditions. It’s not the most famous spot, but there’s potential for a decent session if conditions are right. The beach is pretty laid-back, making it a good spot for surfers looking to relax in between waves.

When it comes to surfing, Fragata can handle swells from the northeast (NE), north, and east. The beach can see some fun waves in sizes around 1-5 feet (0.3-1.5 meters), especially if the NE trade winds die down for a bit. Surfers can find both lefts and rights here, with the waves breaking over uneven reefs and sandy bottoms. It’s a place that is generally suitable for beginners, especially during lower tide heights, but it can work on mid and high tide as well. Wind from the west is preferable for cleaner conditions.

If you’re around Fragata, it’s worth checking out other nearby islands like Boa Vista, Santiago, and Sao Vicente. They can also offer good waves, especially during different swell seasons. So, while Fragata might be your main stop, don't miss the chance to explore these other spots to find some variety in your surf sessions.
