Description

Maresias - São Paulo Maresias features a powerful beach break with both right and left waves, breaking over a sandy bottom. Known for its hollow barrels on good days, it can handle large swells and is accessible within 2 hours from São Paulo via the Anchieta Road. Instant access is available with a short walk. This vibrant beach is a hub for surfers of all levels, offering a friendly atmosphere despite occasional crowds, especially on weekends. Paddle-outs can be challenging due to inconsistent channels and strong rips, making it essential for surfers to be cautious. The spot is frequented by local pros, highlighting its quality. While not the most consistent, Maresias' charm and rideable waves make it a must-visit for anyone in the São Paulo area, especially during favorable conditions with east winds and rising tides.
