Hermenegildo
Santa Vitória do Palmar, RS, Brazil
🏝️Remote
Hermenegildo is Brazil's southernmost significant surf spot, a windswept beach near the Uruguay border. The remote location and cold water keep crowds minimal, and the waves can be excellent when winter swells push up the coast. This is frontier surfing at its most raw.
