Located in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, Vila is a fun beach break that can hold a bit of size, offering up rippable walls when the conditions line up. The waves here require a bit of skill to surf and break for up to 100 meters (328 feet) over a sand bottom.
What are the best surf conditions for Vila?
It gets good between waist-high and double overhead. We recommend riding a longboard if smaller and a shortboard, then step up as the size picks up. This break is suitable for all levels of surfer. The surf here is pretty consistent (6/10) and will always have a crew (7/10). The best winds are from the North. The best swells are from the East, South, and Southeast. It 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 spring suit will work when water temperatures drop to 21°C (70°F). See the temperature chart below for more data on this.
