Praia Sul surf guide

Praia Sul is a surf spot located near Ilhéus that offers a range of peaks along the coastline. The area extends from the rocks at Olivença to Milionarios Beach and features the consistent break at Pedra da Cachorra. The beach setting provides a mellow vibe, making it a popular place for both locals and visitors to enjoy the waves.

The surf at Praia Sul works best with a NorthEast swell, but you can also catch some action with swells from the South. It handles swell sizes from 1ft (0.3 meters) and offers both left and right beach breaks, making it suitable for surfers of various skill levels, especially beginners. The preferable wind direction is from the West, and the best times to surf are during low, mid, or high tide, giving you flexibility depending on your schedule.

While the northern end attracts a lot of local surfers, there are plenty of options if you’re willing to walk a bit further from the main access points. This means you'll find less crowded spots if you're exploring the area, which is a nice perk for anyone looking to get a few more waves without the hustle and bustle.
