Praia da Bertioga in Sao Paulo is an exposed river break that has fairly consistent surf. Winter is the best time of year for surfing here. Works best in offshore winds from the northwest with some shelter here from east winds. Clean groundswells prevail and the ideal swell direction is from the southeast. Waves at the river break both left and right. When the surf is up, it can get quite busy in the water.
