Pedra da Cachorra is known for being one of the most consistent surf spots in downtown Ilheus. It’s a beach break that attracts surfers looking for a good session, especially when the conditions line up nicely. The area has a laid-back vibe and is popular among locals and visitors alike.
This spot works best with swells coming from the NorthEast and South, handling sizes as small as 1ft (about 0.3 meters) and up. You can catch both left and right waves here, which makes it good for surfers of different styles. The waves break over sand, which is usually more forgiving. The best time to surf is when the wind is coming from the West, and you can enjoy it at any tide – low, mid, or high – depending on the day’s conditions.
While Pedra da Cachorra can host some fun sessions, it's important to know that when bigger swells come in, there are some powerful lefts that break behind the 'Pedra' (the rock). The spot sometimes holds contests, especially on the Sul side, where you can find more challenging reef breaks, but those require glassy conditions to really shine.
