Camburi is a versatile beach in the São Sebastião area that offers good waves for various skill levels. The ends of the beach produce the best peaks, with the south end offering longer, peeling waves that longboarders love. The middle section has faster, more hollow waves. A good option for mixed groups.

The Camburi profile does not specify a preferred tide stage. That does not mean tide has no effect: check local conditions alongside swell and wind.
The Camburi profile uses wind from N (0°) as its preferred direction, with an offshore range of 315° to 45°. Wind speed matters too: light winds outside that range can still produce surfable conditions, while strong offshore winds can make takeoffs difficult.
The Camburi scoring profile favors swell from SSW (157° to 247°), a swell-height range of 0.9m to 2.5m, and a reference period of 12s. These are model inputs, not guaranteed breaking-wave heights or a promise that the surf will suit every ability.
The main season at Camburi is Mar-Oct. Best in autumn/winter
