EasyDrop Surfcamp (Itacare, Brazil) ★★★★★

The coastline of Itacaré ranges from flat beaches that extend for miles and miles, to small sheltered beaches surrounded by hills and rainforest. As a result, the region is host to a wide variety of surf spots with different face directions, extensions, and bottom shapes. Many of these spots remain uncrowded most of the time due to their remote location and limited access.

Pontal - Pure Power
During Brazilian winter (May to September) when swells and winds turn south, Pontal offers excellent surf conditions for both intermediate and advanced surfers.
The only inhabitants of Pontal are the many rare animals and thousands of coconut palms. The waves on the outer sandbars are large with a slow break, but become fast and hollow on the inside peaks. Pontal is not well suited for beginners for the following reasons. Channels to the outside are not easily accessible and are difficult to navigate. Forceful cross currents are almost always present and at times severe & dangerous rip currents exist. Getting in and out can be tricky as well as unsafe due to heavy shore breaks.

Boca da Barra - Endless Rights
On big winter days, Boca da Barra provides one of the longest rideable waves in Brazil. An awesome right-hander, it peels down from the open sea for 1,000-2,000 meters, into the middle of Pontal beach. Just south of Pontal beach is the river mouth break called Boca da Barra. It can be seen from the center of town and accessed with a short 5-10 minute paddle from our lodging. Waves above nine feet are rare in Itacaré, but we have surfed Boca da Barra when swells were at 12 feet and have seen it produce even larger breaks. But, beware! In order to ride Boca da Barra, you will find yourself far out in the ocean where orientation is difficult and cross currents pull you away from the peak. Violent rip currents can make it a nightmare to get back in. Always check your equipment before you go since losing your board could be a fatal mistake and NEVER GO ALONE!

Prainha
Stunning Beauty & Powerful Surf

Prainha’s right-hander is one of the most spectacular waves in the region. However, the more consistent left side can often provide perfect tubes. Prainha was rated one of the top ten beaches in Brazil due to its natural beauty. The beach is located within a 45-minute walk of town and during the Brazilian summer months (December to February), solid northeastern swells produce perfect tubular left point breaks in the left-hand corner. In the deep winter months, huge south swells and pure southern winds produce a gnarly but awesome right-hander that goes off in the right corner with an easy take off frame and peeling into a heavy shallow tube. When this break is on, you are sure to see some of the most spectacular waves in the region!

Jeribucaçu -
An Empty Line Up

The next surfing beach after Prainha is Jeribucaçu. Since this beach is not within walking distance of town, you will need to travel by car and once you reach the access points, there is an additional 20-30 minute hike in to the beach. Keep in mind that Jeribucaçu has several access points that are quite hidden, so plan to get a guide or go with EasyDrop!

Engenhoca
Longboarders & Kooks

Just south of Jeribucaçu is Engenhoca, another beach with limited access. You will need to drive further on the road toward Ilheus and hike in from the access point for a bout 20 minutes through the rainforest. Again, we highly recommend you use a guide or our experienced EasyDrop staff to reach this spot. Engenhoca is EasyDrop’s main teaching beach due to the consistent surf and mellow currents, which makes it easy to paddle in and out. The beach is a half enclosed bay and is nicely protected from the northeast wind that is characteristic of our summer months. However, if the swell turns east or southeast the break can become choppy. You’ll find a nice channel on the left side that works perfectly up to double overhead surf!

Itacarezinho
Endless Beach Breaks

The last beach in our region is Itacarezinho, just south of Engenhoca. A hefty entrance fee will grant you drive-up access to the restaurant on the north end of the beach. Or you can access it via a 15-minute walk down a steep road. The best breaks are found south of the restaurant, and real estate development may limit the road access. If you walk along the beach you’ll eventually reach the legendary left-hand reef break called “Pedra Preta” that is near perfect in summer conditions. But on any day at Itacarezinho when the surf is up and the wind is down, you will find good surf all over!
