Surf spots Brazil: Surf Atlas - Onlineboarding.com
The amount of pro surfers that come from Brazil would suggest that it is a strong surfing country. From the packed beaches of Rio to the pleasant waters of Santa Catarina, Brazil offers so many waves.

Go to the town of Recife and you'll find an entire stretch of coast (60kn) closed supposedly due to shark attacks. More likely due to some weird politics.

Head to Santa Catarina south of Sao Paulo for the country's best variety of waves within a short distance. It has a massive swell window and provides quality waves all year round.

In the north east of the country, you'll find the most relaxed beaches but probably not the same wave size and consistency as in the south.

Best swell: big summer swell from the North Pacific or a deep low from the south. Crowds: very mild

Best wind: s-sw are most common, hang out for the easterlies Getting around: need a car
Accomodation: from $3 US pp Water temp: warmer than most of the western coast.
Best Time of year: Nov-March Day Air temp: hot in summer cool in winter
