Surf Mambucaba

Mambucaba - Rio de Janeiro Mambucaba is a rivermouth break featuring both left and right-hand waves over a sandy bottom. It requires a swell of at least 1.5 meters to break, with optimal conditions occurring at low and mid tide. The spot is protected from wind by surrounding islands, ensuring consistent performance. Located in a historical village, Mambucaba is approximately three hours from Rio de Janeiro, near the Angra dos Reis nuclear plant. The break is characterized by a sandbank formed at the river's exit, providing fun waves for surfers. While the atmosphere is enriched with local attractions and drinking water available near the camping area, be mindful that locals may not be very welcoming. The spot sees few surfers during the week, making it an ideal choice for those seeking a quieter surf experience.
