For surfers, the map shows the most powerful swell tracking across near-shore open water and not the peak waves experienced by boats out at sea. Move your mouse over the ocean swell symbols or the surf breaks on the coastline to see a more detailed surf forecast including wave period and wind conditions. The forecast updates every 6 hours and most live weather reports update every hour. You can animate the Rio Grande Do Sul Surf map or show live wind and wave conditions as reported from wavebuoys and local weather stations. Surf breaks shown along the Rio Grande Do Sul coastline are also listed below.

Rio Grande do Sul is the southernmost state in Brazil. Its shoreline is a straight sand beach from north to south with almost no mountains except for a few cliffs on the city of Torres on the north border. It is just a very long beach with a dozen rivermouths along its almost 700km of endless beachbreaks. Because of the location, down south in South America its climate is unique when compared to the rest of Brazil. It can get very cold in winter time and very warm on summer. It usually gets out of control when winter swells roll up the coast coming from the south so it's by the end of spring, then summer and specially in the beginning of autumn that everything fits into place and the chances of scoring good waves with offshore winds increase. The waves in this region are usually mushy with the predominant NE wind, but on those not so rare NW, W or SW days (offshore) it starts looking like mini Puertos - you see perfect barrels everywhere! ..... Giovanni Mancuso

Here in Salinas there are only beach breaks, the best wave here is next to a fishing platform, on both sides it is good to surf. With south winds, it is better in the north side, and with north winds the south side has better waves. Rio Grande do Sul, receives good swells all through the year, but between May and November the winds are best. The scenary is the same in all along the coastline, from Torres to Chuy .....
