Santa Catarina is one of the best surf areas in Brazil and also one of the most consistent. It holds big swells that comes from South Atlantic and Antartica. The best period is from April to October, but the swells are very consistent so you can surf it all year. In the summer it's well known by huge parties and beatiful girls.
The water may be very cold even in Summer so don't forget your wetsuits.
If you're looking for big waves, come here in winter.
Dominant Swell and Wind Direction : During summer, it gets many swells from North, and during the rest of the year from the South (Antartica).

Garopaba Centro, Brazil

The non-summer surfing saga we've committed ourselves to surely had a nice beginning. There was this huge swell from the East and pretty much all beaches were closing out, apart from Garopaba Centro.

I´m Ana from Germany. I and my boyfriend want to go to Santa Catarina or Forianopolis in January. Does anybody now how much it costs to rent a board for a day, a week or more? Because the transport of our boards by plane would be more or less expensive.
How big are the waves in January. We don´t need huge waves because we are beginners. 6 ft is enough.
Obrigada
Greetings from Germany

Praia da Saudade, Prainha is the same beach of Prainha Săo Chico and it belongs to Santa Catarina North, Atalaia and Navegantes too.

Ilha dos Lobos
I am a Rio Grande do Sul local and I am here to correct a huge mistake about Ilha dos Lobos. This great surf spot does not belong to Santa Catarina but to Torres, Rio Grande do Sul, a beach located at north of the brazilian southest state. Look for Torres at the world atlas, this is the place Ilha dos Lobos belongs.
