Located in Brazil, Prainha is not a bad beach break along with a left and right reef on the edges of the crescent bay. The waves here are generally pretty easy to surf and break for up to 100 meters (328 feet) over a rock or sand bottom. The reefs can hold a bit more size and are suitable for practising turns and manoeuvres. The beach break is fun for all levels, usually peaky.
What are the best surf conditions for Prainha?
Gets good between chest high and double overhead. We recommend riding a longboard if smaller and a shortboard as the size picks up. This break is suitable for all levels of surfer. The surf here is not the most consistent (4/10) and will get a little crowded (7/10). The best winds are from the northwest and west. The best swells are from the east, south, southeast, and southwest. Works on all tides.
We recommend wearing boardshorts or a bikini in the summers when water temperatures rise to 26°C (79°F). In the winter, a 3/2 is best when water temperatures drop to 19°C (66°F). See the temperature chart below for more data on this.
