Geriba is the most popular surf spot in Buzios. It's a beachbreak that tends to deliver consistent waves, especially when the wind blows from the northwest to the northeast. This spot can get pretty crowded on weekends, so if you prefer a bit more space, consider heading out during the weekdays. The beach is lined with nice sand, making it a decent place for a day of surfing and lounging around.

The waves at Geriba can handle sizes around 2ft (0.6m) and work well with swells coming from the southeast, east, and south. You'll find both left and right-breaking waves here. It’s a good option for beginners, especially since it offers plenty of nice peaks and walls to play around with. The best time to catch these waves is during low to mid to high tide when conditions are generally more favorable.

If you’re looking for something a bit calmer, you might want to check out nearby spots like Tucuns or Dunas de Pero. They tend to provide mellower waves and a more relaxed atmosphere, which can be nice if you’re feeling overwhelmed by the crowds at Geriba. Just remember to respect the lineup and have a good time out there!
