  Brazil: the largest country in South America, with underrated surf (people think that there are only small waves). Several Top 44 surfers come from Brazil, as well as big-wave riders.....tells you something about the quality and variety of the waves at home?
Surf Period: From April to September, Southern Brazil (most of the spots) catches east to south swells produced in Antartic. From November to March, the north of Brazil (especially Fernando do Noronha) catches nothern swells.
Plus: all levels of surf, the Brazilian life-style, low budget, water temperature.
Minus: lots of crowded lineups, lack of reef-breaks.
Location: Eastern South America, bordering the Atlantic Ocean
Geographic coordinates: 10 00 S, 55 00 W
Coastline: 7,491 km
Climate: mostly tropical, but temperate in south
Terrain: mostly flat to rolling lowlands in north; some plains, hills, mountains, and narrow coastal belt
Natural hazards: recurring droughts in northeast; floods and occasional frost in south
Currency: real (BRL)

North Shore
If you are planing a surf trip to Brazil, be sure to check Sao Paulo´s north shore, specially São Sebastiao and Ubatuba. These places have great infra structure, huge variety of waves, and receive south and south-east swells quite often. Besides, looks and girls are among the best in Brazil. The best spots are: Maresias, Cambury, Baleia, Itamambuca, Félix. Best time to surf is from April to October (but if u are lucky u can get a good swell in summer too, and the weather is better). Stay at a "pousada" and don´t miss Sirena (club) if u get the chance to check Maresias. About transport, if u arrive in Sao Paulo, those places are 2 - 3 hours away by car (roads are very good, though expensive). The best site to check wave forecast for this region is: www.waves.com.br.
Hope u have a great time in Brazil and enjoy our waves and vibe!
