Beginner basics

Where to go

Praia Brava lives up to its name — exposed, powerful, and not a true beginner zone. On the smallest days the south end can offer a friendlier reform, but treat it as an intermediate spot.

What to avoid

Strong rips and closeouts dominate on any size. Don't surf the main central peak as a beginner; if you see lifeguards waving people out of a section, listen.

Best beginner conditions

Wait for a tiny day (knee-high E or SE swell), light W or SW wind, mid to high tide. For genuine learning in Floripa, head to Barra da Lagoa instead.
