Prainha - Brazil surf guide

Prainha is a well-known surf spot located in Brazil, famous for its beautiful scenery and solid wave action. This beach tends to attract a good number of surfers, so expect some company in the water, especially when the conditions are right. The vibe here is relaxed, with plenty of space for everyone to enjoy the surf and take in the stunning views around the area.

The waves at Prainha can be punchy and often feature hollow peaks thanks to rock-anchored sandbars. It works best with a southeast swell, but you can also catch decent waves coming from the east or south. The spot handles swell sizes starting from about 2 feet (0.6 meters) and typically breaks over both rock ledges and sand. Whether you're riding lefts or rights, there's something for everyone, making it a good option even for beginners. Ideal wind conditions are from the northwest, and the waves can be surfed at low, mid, or high tides.

Since there are often lots of surfers in the water, it’s wise to be mindful of the locals. Sometimes, they might drop in on your wave, so keep an eye out! Remember to have fun and respect your fellow surfers while enjoying everything Prainha has to offer.
