YouTubeWatch on YouTube CustomizeCustomize this spot

Guarujá is São Paulo's most accessible surf destination, a beach resort that offers surprisingly good waves when swells hit. The rocky corners produce the best surf, with rights off the rocks being particularly noteworthy on bigger days. As the closest proper surf to São Paulo city, it gets crowded but delivers for those with limited time.

Frequently Asked Questions

What tide is best at Guarujá?

The Guarujá profile favors mid to high tide. Compare this preference with the forecast tide and local conditions before choosing a session.

What wind direction is offshore at Guarujá?

The Guarujá profile uses wind from NW (315°) as its preferred direction, with an offshore range of 270° to 360°. Wind speed matters too: light winds outside that range can still produce surfable conditions, while strong offshore winds can make takeoffs difficult.

What swell size and direction work best at Guarujá?

The Guarujá scoring profile favors swell from SSE (135° to 200°), 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.
