Boca do Poço surf guide

Boca do Poço is a surf spot that offers a unique experience for surfers looking to catch some waves. It's a right point break that works best with a northerly swell. Located next to some sand-covered reefs, this spot can get pretty busy, so expect some other surfers sharing the lineup. It's less crowded than nearby spots, which can be a plus for those wanting a little more space in the water. If you find the waves aren’t firing, you could always try some sand boarding on the adjacent dunes.

The surf here can be pretty fun, especially with the right swell direction. It handles swell sizes starting at 2 feet (about 0.6 meters) and works well when the swell is coming from the north, with some activity from the northwest and east. The waves break over an uneven reef and sand, mainly forming smooth right point waves. The best time to surf is during mid to high tide, and if the wind is coming from the south, you can expect cleaner conditions. This spot is ideal for intermediate surfers looking to improve their skills.

While Boca do Poço can be an awesome place to surf, the crowds can be a bit much at times. If you’re not feeling the surf or it’s flat, checking out the nearby dunes for some sand boarding could be a fun alternative. Keep in mind that it's important to be aware of the conditions as they can change and affect your surfing experience.
