Curumim is a beach break on the coast of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, near the municipality of Capão da Canoa. It’s known as a more local, less crowded surf zone compared with some of the busier Brazilian breaks, and it can offer fun waves when the South Atlantic swell lines up.

Surf character

Type: Mostly beach break
Wave quality: Can be quite playful and rippable, especially on the right swell and sandbank setup
Best conditions: Usually works best with S to SE swell and light offshore or side-offshore winds
Consistency: Can be inconsistent, as with many sandy beach breaks, but when it’s on, it can be very enjoyable

What to expect

Wave size: From small, beginner-friendly surf to stronger overhead conditions on bigger swell events
Shape: Generally offers shifting peaks, with both lefts and rights depending on sandbars
Crowds: Often less crowded than more famous Brazilian surf towns, though localism can still exist

Beach and setting

Curumim has a laid-back coastal feel, with a long sandy shoreline and a typical southern Brazil beach atmosphere. The area is popular in summer for beachgoers, but outside peak season it can feel relatively quiet.

Good for

Intermediate surfers looking for fun beach break sessions
Beginners on smaller days, especially with supervision
Surfers chasing varied sandbank peaks rather than point-break style waves
