Beginner basics

Where to go

Mole's south-end peaks on a small clean day are workable for an upper beginner once the contests aren't running. The sand-bottom inside reform is forgiving.

What to avoid

Don't sit on the main competition peak — it's where every Floripa shortboarder posts up. Variable sandbars mean rips shift weekly; check the beach for channels before paddling.

Best beginner conditions

Knee-to-waist E or SE swell, 9s+ period, light W or NW wind, mid tide. Weekday mornings outside the December–March peak season.
