Ronco do Mar surf guide

Ronco do Mar is a surf spot located right in town, making it easily accessible for surfers looking for a session without having to travel far. It’s known for its vibrant atmosphere and gets pretty crowded, especially because it's one of the more popular breaks in the area. Pro contests are often held here, showcasing the talent of high-level surfers.

The surf here features hard-breaking right waves that can be challenging, particularly when the tide is low and the rocky reef is exposed. It works best from mid tide up, with consistent conditions for those willing to tackle it. The optimal swell direction is from the north, but you can also catch good waves with northwesterly and easterly swells. The spot can handle swell sizes starting from around 1 foot (0.3 meters) and breaks over both uneven reef and sand. Expect point waves that break predominantly to the right, which can cater well to intermediate surfers. If you can time it right with a south wind and mid to high tide, you’ll likely enjoy better sessions.

Given its popularity, it's often crowded, especially in the small take-off zone, so be prepared to share the waves. It’s a great spot for those looking to improve their skills while riding decent-sized waves among other surfers. Just keep an eye on the conditions to get the best out of your session.
