Xangão surf guide

Xangão is a surf spot located in Barra do Sahy. It features an offshore reef that catches east-southeast swells. This spot is known for its localized right-hand waves, which can offer some decent sessions on the right days.

The best conditions for surfing at Xangão happen with east or south swells, ideally handling sizes around 3 feet (about 0.9 meters). The waves break over an uneven reef and some sand, delivering a sucky take-off and a long wall to ride. The preferable wind comes from the west, and it works best during low to mid tide, making these times important for scoring a good session.

When hitting Xangão, be mindful of the local vibe. It's often best to keep a low profile, as some surfers might not be super welcoming to newcomers. Just respect the spot, and you should be fine.
