Surfing
The best thing about surfing in Brazil is there are decent breaks all along the coast. Therefore, whereever you travel be sure to have your board close at hand.
The best spots in northern Brazil include the Fernando de Noronha islands and the Natal coast. December to March is summer, and this is when the coast catches the northern swell - it’s considered the best time of year to surf here.
In central Brazil visit the tropical state of Bahia. The surfer-hideaway of Itacare offers hippy-hangout vibes with consistent surf conditions. Winter is the best season; you’ll get bigger waves up to ten foot from June to August.
The swells generated in southern Brazil are considered the absolute best in the country. The best period to surf in southern Brazil is April to October (winter), when the size of the waves can reach ten feet or more. Florianopolis, Santa Catarina and the beaches around Rio are the highlights down south.
