Tramandaí – Malvina is a surf spot on the north coast of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, near the town of Tramandaí. It’s part of a long Atlantic coastline exposed to swell, with a beach-break setup typical of southern Brazil.

What it’s like

Type of wave: Mostly beach break
Wave shape: Can offer fast, punchy peaks with sections that work well for maneuver-based surfing
Best conditions: Usually best with groundswells from the South/Southeast and lighter winds
Wind: Offshore or cleaner conditions often come with westerly / northwest winds depending on local orientation and weather patterns
Consistency: Can be fairly consistent because it faces the open ocean, but quality depends a lot on sandbanks and wind

Skill level

Often suitable for intermediate surfers
Can be fun for beginners on smaller, softer days
On larger swells, it can get powerful and shorebreak-y, so conditions may suit more experienced surfers

Local character

Tramandaí is a known summer beach destination, so expect:
More people in the water during holidays and warm weekends
A lively beach-town atmosphere
Shifting sandbanks that can change the surf from season to season

Best season

The austral autumn and winter months often bring the most reliable swells in southern Brazil
Spring can also be good, while summer tends to be smaller and more variable
