Beginner basics

Where to go

The main town beach (Praia do Centro) on a small day has soft, manageable peaks for first sessions. Praia do Amor's left point on a small day is friendlier than it looks because the wave is slow.

What to avoid

On bigger swells the closeouts at the main beach are heavy. Stay off Cacimbinha's rip channels and don't surf alone if the beach is empty — the cliffs make rescues hard.

Best beginner conditions

Waist-high E or SE swell, 8-10s period, light W or SW wind (early morning offshore is classic), mid tide. Year-round warm water — no wetsuit needed.
