Praia da Pinheira surf guide

Praia da Pinheira is a pretty straightforward beachbreak located in a protected bay. While it's not the most famous surf spot around, it has its charm and can be a decent place for a session, especially when the conditions line up. Expect a mix of surfers, but it's usually not too crowded since it doesnโ€™t always compare to the best spots nearby. The beach can get busy during the summer with beachgoers, but the surf crowd is generally laid-back.

This spot works best with a southeast swell and can handle sizes around 2ft (about 0.6 meters). You can catch waves breaking over sand, and both left and right waves are available for riding, making it suitable for beginners. A notable feature is the righthand point that can form off the rocks leading to Praia Cima during bigger northeast swells, providing a change in vibe when conditions are right. Ideal winds come from the southwest, and you can enjoy the surf at low, mid, or high tide. Just keep in mind that the best results often come when the swell and wind cooperate.

Overall, Praia da Pinheira is a solid option for beginner surfers looking to get some practice in a manageable environment. It's not always the most exciting surf, but it can give you the opportunity to catch some fun waves without the hassle of heavy crowds.
