Toninhas is a beach break on Brazil’s São Paulo North Coast, near Ubatuba, known for its tropical setting and generally easy access. It’s a scenic spot with a mix of sandy beach, lush green hills, and warm-water conditions typical of Brazil’s southeast coast.

Surf characteristics

Type: Beach break
Wave quality: Can be fun and playful, especially with the right swell direction
Best for: Beginner to intermediate surfers, though stronger swells can create more powerful sections
Conditions: Often best with southerly to southeast swells and lighter winds
Crowd: Can get busy, especially during weekends, holidays, and summer

What to expect

Toninhas is not usually a heavy reef or point break, so it tends to offer more forgiving waves. On smaller days, it can be great for learning and longboard surfing. When a solid swell hits, the waves can become faster and more hollow in sections, with shifting peaks depending on sand movement.

Beach vibe

The area has a relaxed coastal feel, with residential surroundings and easy beach access. Compared with some more famous Ubatuba surf spots, Toninhas is often seen as a convenient, user-friendly option.

Good to know

Sandbanks can change quickly, so the best peak may shift from day to day.
Conditions can vary a lot with tides, wind, and swell direction.
Like many beach breaks, it can have currents and rips, so be mindful if the surf is bigger.
