Quilombo, Santa Catarina (North), Brazil is a lesser-known surf spot on the northern coast of Santa Catarina, a region better known for its beach breaks and changing sandbars than for famous point breaks. It’s typically a beachbreak with shifting conditions, so the wave quality depends a lot on sand movement, swell direction, and wind.

What it’s like

Wave type: Mostly beachbreak
Best swell: Usually works best with southerly to southeast swell
Wind: Prefers offshore or light wind; onshore winds can quickly make it messy
Consistency: Can be inconsistent, as is common with sandbank-dependent spots
Wave character: Often fast and punchy, with sections that can be fun for turns and occasional barrels when the sand is lined up well

Best for

Intermediate to advanced surfers who can handle changing peaks and variable takeoff spots
Surfers looking for a less crowded alternative to more famous Santa Catarina breaks

Things to know

Conditions can change quickly after storms or strong swell events.
Because it’s a beachbreak, the exact quality may vary from session to session.
Local knowledge helps a lot for finding the best peak and reading the sandbars.
