Brazil Surfing Info and Details
Brazil has a massive 7491 km coastline on the Atlantic ocean and gets heaps of swell. Brazil is really coming of age as a surfing country with many top class surfers and several in the world top 44. It's tropical climate makes for some warm water surfing which we all love.
Many of the swells are generated by the deep low pressures that track past cape horn, sending swells northwards throughout the year, although April to October are the best.
The popularity of the sport with Brazilians means that empty waves are getting harder and harder to find, and the quality of the surfers means there are less and less waves going begging. Localism can be a problem in some areas so make sure you show respect in the line up.
