Surf Praia da Macumba

Praia da Macumba - Rio de Janeiro Praia da Macumba features a beach break with sandy bottom, offering both right and left waves. The spot is known for its hollow and powerful waves, making it suitable for surfers of all skill levels. It works best at low and mid tide, with rising and falling tides providing optimal conditions. Located just west of a small island along Barra Beach, Macumba is easily accessible by car or public transport, including the dedicated SURFbus. The beach can get crowded, especially on weekends, but maintains a chill vibe during the week. Ideal conditions occur with wind from the NNW to N, particularly in autumn and winter. The paddle out is generally straightforward, although it may lengthen on larger days. Whether riding a shortboard, funboard, or longboard, Macumba promises a rewarding surf experience amidst beautiful surroundings.
