Embare in Sao Paulo is a sheltered beach break that has reliable surf. Winter is the best time of year for surfing here. Works best in offshore winds from the north. Most of the surf here comes from groundswells and the ideal swell angle is from the south. Waves at the beach are both lefts and rights. It's sometimes crowded here. Beware of rips and pollution.
