Located in Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, Guarita is a fun beach break that offers up some protected peaks, providing high-performance-oriented sections. The waves here require some skill to surf and break for up to 50 meters (164 feet) over a rock and sand bottom.
What are the best surf conditions for Guarita?
It gets good between waist-high and overhead. We recommend riding a longboard when smaller and a shortboard as the size picks up. This break is suitable for all levels of surfer. The surf here is somewhat consistent (6/10) and will generally have a crew on it (7/10). The best winds are from the Northwest. The best swells are from the East, South, and Southeast. Works on all tides.
We recommend wearing boardshorts or a bikini in the summers when water temperatures rise to 24°C (75°F). In the winter, a 4/3 wetsuit is best when water temperatures drop to 13°C (55°F). See the temperature chart below for more data on this.
