Dique de Cabedelo is a surf spot near Cabedelo, Paraíba, Brazil—right by the river mouth area close to Ponta de Campina / Intermares and the Port of Cabedelo zone. It’s known more as a local, tide- and sandbar-dependent wave than a super-consistent world-class break.

What it’s like

Type of wave: Mostly a beachbreak/river-mouth influenced break, with shifting sandbars.
Wave shape: Can offer short, punchy rights and lefts depending on sand and swell direction.
Best conditions: Usually works best with light offshore wind and a clean ground swell from the east/northeast.
Tide sensitivity: Often very tide-dependent; some days it needs mid tide to hold shape.
Consistency: Can be inconsistent, but when sandbars line up it can produce fun, hollow sections.

Surf level

Best for: Intermediate to advanced surfers, especially when it gets fast or shallow.
Hazards: Sandbars, currents near the river/harbor area, and occasional crowd/localism.

General vibe

It’s a local Brazilian surf spot with a relaxed atmosphere, though conditions can change quickly.
Because it’s near an urban/coastal area, it may be more crowded when the swell is good.
