Spot guide

Surfing Saquarema (Itaúna)

Itaúna beach in Saquarema, about two hours east of Rio de Janeiro, is known as the Maracanã of Brazilian surfing and is one of the country's most powerful and consistent waves. Its sandbanks, shaped by the swell and a nearby rocky point, produce heavy, hollow peaks that break both left and right.

It is at its best on solid southerly groundswells from the South Atlantic, most common from about May to September, with northerly winds blowing offshore. The beach handles size well and has hosted the World Surf League's Championship Tour stop in Brazil in recent years.

The shorebreak is powerful and the rips are strong, so Itaúna suits advanced surfers when it is big, while smaller days are fun for confident intermediates. The town of Saquarema, with its hilltop church overlooking the beaches, has a relaxed surf culture and plenty of places to stay.
