Surf Break: Praia do Tombo

Praia do Tombo in Sao Paulo is an exposed beach break that usually has waves. Winter is the best time of year for surfing here. Offshore winds are from the north northwest with some shelter here from northeast winds. Most of the surf here comes from groundswells and the ideal swell angle is from the south. The beach breaks offer lefts and rights. Good surf at all stages of the tide. Sometimes crowded. Water quality is rather poor here.
