Borete is a surf spot on the northeastern coast of Brazil, in the Paraíba / Pernambuco area. It’s part of Brazil’s tropical Atlantic coastline, so expect warm water, consistent sunshine, and a laid-back beach vibe.

What it’s like

Wave type: Usually a beach break, with sandbars that can shift after swells and tides.
Best conditions: Often works best with clean swell and favorable tide, especially when the banks line up.
Wave quality: Can be fun and punchy when conditions are right, though beach breaks here can be variable.
Crowds: Typically less crowded than major surf cities, but local traffic can increase on good days.
Water/air: Warm year-round, so boardshorts or a thin spring suit are usually enough.

Swell and season

The Northeast of Brazil gets more reliable surf in the austral winter and during stronger Southern Hemisphere swells.
Trade winds can affect quality, so early morning sessions are often best before the wind picks up.

Good for

Intermediate surfers looking for fun, warm-water beach break waves
Shortboarders when it’s firing
Longboarders on smaller, softer days

Watch-outs

Shifting sandbanks can change the wave shape quickly
Currents and rips can be strong on open beaches
Conditions can go from great to messy fast if wind or tide changes
