Description

Praia Grande (PG) - Ubatuba Praia Grande features a beach break with both right and left waves, characterized by a sandy bottom interspersed with rocks. The surf is generally ordinary to fun, making it accessible for various skill levels. The spot is easily reachable via BR 101, with instant access in under 5 minutes. This lively beach is a hotspot for surfers, drawing both locals and tourists, especially on weekends when it becomes ultra crowded. While the surf quality is often rewarding, the localism can be a concern. The waves work well at all tides, with optimal conditions during rising and falling tides, particularly when the swell comes from the south, southeast, or east. For those seeking less crowded waves, the southern headland at Toninhas may offer better options during east swells. Always stay aware of your surroundings while enjoying the surf at Praia Grande.
