Ingleses is a popular surf beach on the north side of Florianópolis, Brazil, in the district of Praia dos Ingleses. It’s one of the island’s more accessible and well-known breaks, drawing a mix of locals, beginners, and intermediate surfers.

Surf character

Beach break with sandbanks that can shift after swells and storms
Works best with solid swell and favorable wind conditions
Can produce quick, punchy waves and occasionally longer, more playful rides depending on the sandbar setup
Often crowded, especially during summer and weekends

Best conditions

Usually better with southerly or east/southeast swell, depending on sandbank alignment
Offshore winds from the west/northwest can clean it up
Conditions can change quickly, so it’s worth checking before paddling out

Skill level

Suitable for beginners to intermediates when smaller and clean
On bigger days, it can become more powerful and challenging, with stronger currents and heavier closeouts

Vibe and setting

Urban, convenient, and lively compared with more remote Florianópolis breaks
Plenty of nearby shops, restaurants, and accommodation
Less “untouched” surf feel, but very practical if you want easy access to waves
