Rio de Janeiro is the most famous city
in Brazil, and quite possibly the most beautiful in
the world. The city and its backdrop are not the only
reason that Rio is famous, the waves here can go off!
Barra da Tijuca, Saquarema and Niterói are the
best-known spots in the area. Most of the waves in this
region are beach breaks, there are al lot of out of
the way places in the Rio area were you can score perfect
beach breaks with fewer crowds.
Fun beach breaks with a beautiful
backdrop. The wheels you need to navigate the city and
beaches.
There are actually incredible waves in
and around the city beaches of Rio, some of these include,
Leblon, Ipanema and Barra Tijuca The best activity on
the beach without doubt is people watching. The beautiful
people come here in droves and flaunt themselves. There
are all kinds of beach activities to watch or get involved
in such as volleyball, soccer and swimming.
Leblon has a big wave rep. Rio’s
magical coastline and pristine beaches.
A surf trip to Rio is like no other, there
is many options for surfing that involve driving through
the maze of Rio's cities and highways. Once out of the
city you literally could be anywhere in Brazil, with
all kinds of beautiful beaches, islands and rainforests.
A trip to Saquarema is always on the cards.
It is only an hour and a half drive north from Rio and
it has some world-class beach breaks. It is famous for
its hollow and powerful beach breaks and its capacity
to hold a huge swell. The locals say it will handle
10ft plus and so requires some bigger boards. Saquerama
is not the kind of place that anyone can paddle out
and catch al lot of waves, but our guide has grown up
here and knows all the boys!
We were not kidding when we said
Saquarema has world-class beach breaks!
There are waves in Rio all year round
and the weather is also good all year. The most consistent
time for swell is from March to November, you can bring
your shortboards and boardshorts. Oh and don't forget
your beer cooler!
