Faja do Araujo surf guide

Faja do Araujo is a surf spot located on the east coast, known for its isolation and challenging conditions. Getting there involves a journey, with access requiring a bit of effort. Surfers can check the waves from the nearby miradouros to the south, but expect a half-hour walk along a rocky shoreline after navigating a logging road to a few houses. The entry and exit can be tricky due to the surrounding rocks, and it’s a 15-minute paddle south to reach the main point. The spot isn't the most consistent, so it may take some time to find it working.

The wave at Faja do Araujo really comes alive with a solid NorthWest swell, especially when it hits around 8 feet (about 2.4 meters). The best conditions tend to be low to mid tide, with the wave breaking over boulders. When it’s on, surfers can expect powerful left-point waves that can provide some excellent rides. However, this spot is definitely for experts only, as the drops are steep and the lineup can be quite intimidating. A big swell of at least 15 feet (around 4.6 meters) is needed to get things going, and once the waves clean out the big rocks in the lineup, it can turn into a world-class ride.

Make sure to check the wind direction, as west winds are preferable here. The spot's remote nature means it doesn’t get crowded, but that also means you should come prepared for a true adventure. Given its tricky conditions and limited access, it’s a place where only experienced surfers should paddle out.
