Baduska is a surf spot located where Baia do Pontal meets the sea. It features a right-handed wave that can stretch out along sandbanks in the west-facing section of Baduska, moving into the north-facing Concha. While you can find some decent rides here, linking them together can be a bit tricky, so don’t expect a continuous session every time you hit the water.
The optimal swell direction for Baduska is east, but it can also handle swells coming from the northeast and south. When the swell hits around 3 feet (about 0.9 meters), it generally breaks over sand. Most surfers can expect a right-hand wave that suits intermediate abilities. For the best conditions, look for winds coming from the west and try to surf during low to mid, or even high tides if the swell is right. Just keep in mind that it needs a solid east pulse to really get into Concha smoothly.
Surfing at Baduska might bring some interesting challenges with the wave's inconsistency and the need for the right swell conditions. It's a good idea to check the forecast before you head out to make sure you catch it at its best. The site also has a reputation for a few sharks lurking around, which is something to keep in mind while you’re out there.
