About This Destination

Surfing in Saquarema

Saquarema is a coastal town located approximately 100 kilometers east of Rio de Janeiro in Rio de Janeiro State, known for its consistent Atlantic swell exposure and multiple reef and beach breaks. The region experiences year-round surfing conditions due to its geographic positioning on Brazil's southeastern coast, where Atlantic swells regularly approach from the south and southeast. The town has developed as a established surf destination with several breaks suitable for different skill levels, though actual swell frequency and conditions vary significantly throughout the year.

Pro Tips

Insider Knowledge for Saquarema

  1. 1
    Check local tide schedules before sessions, as several Saquarema breaks perform optimally during specific tide windows that can shift by 50+ minutes daily
  2. 2
    Bring board shorts and a light spring suit even in warm months, as water temperature fluctuations occur seasonally and early morning sessions can be noticeably cooler
  3. 3
    Scout breaks in person before committing to a session if unfamiliar with local currents and channel systems, which vary substantially between nearby breaks
  4. 4
    Plan sessions around wind patterns rather than time of day alone, as onshore winds that develop in afternoon hours can degrade swell quality significantly
  5. 5
    Connect with local surf guides or schools for current conditions and hazard information, as break characteristics and access points have changed over recent years
