Surf Sao Conrado

Sao Conrado - Rio de Janeiro Sao Conrado features a beach break with both left and right waves, characterized by hollow, fast, and powerful conditions. The sandy bottom contributes to excellent tube riding, making it a premier bodyboarding spot in Rio. The main break is a left wedge, while the right offers rampy backdoors. Best surfed at mid to high tide. Located just down from Ipanema Beach, Sao Conrado is easily accessible and attracts a lively crowd, especially on weekends. The atmosphere is vibrant, with a mix of locals and surfers, but respect for the local community is essential. The waves can be short due to the beach's proximity, yet they can deliver thrilling rides when conditions align. Autumn and winter are optimal seasons, but the spot can produce consistent surf year-round. Be cautious of rips, localism, and pollution, particularly after heavy rain.
