Porto Martins- Ponta Negra surf guide

Porto Martins - Ponta Negra is a well-known surf spot that attracts surfers looking for some decent waves. It’s located in a scenic area with a vibrant local feel. The beach gets a fair amount of crowd, especially on good days, so expect to share the waves with other surfers. The vibe is friendly, but as always, be mindful of the locals and their customs.

The surf here is mainly a left-point break that works best on big northwest swells. On those days, conditions can get pretty exciting, and the waves can reach up to 1.2 meters (4 ft). The spot fits surfers at intermediate levels, making it a great choice when the swell is manageable. With the right northwestern winds, you can experience some fast, sharp waves that break over uneven reef, offering opportunities for big tubes. It's important to keep in mind that the waves can become more challenging when they reach double overhead, so know your limits. You'll want to kick out of the wave before the end on bigger days to avoid any risks near the rocks.

Porto Martins handles all tide heights, which is a plus, so you can find surfable waves whether it's low, mid, or high tide. Beyond the main break, there’s a bit of a mushy right point in front of the swimming pool just around the corner, which can be a good option, too. Make sure to check the forecast before heading out, as the conditions can change quickly.
