About This Spot
Tabuba, Brazil is one of the world's premier wind-sports destinations, located in Brazil.
Situated in South America, the spot offers Chop and Small waves and Medium waves water conditions, making it ideal for beginners and experienced riders alike.
With E–ESE–SE winds, peaking from July to December, Tabuba, Brazil delivers the kind of sessions that keep riders coming back year after year.
Why Riders Love It
Best winds from July to March, almost daily. Strongest winds in August and September with around 25 knots. Otherwise around 20 knots. From March to June you will find wind as well, but not daily, from 10-25 knots. Usually the wind is sideoffshore in the morning and turns sideonshore around noon. But this beach already works, if Cumbuco is still a bit sideoffshore.
When to Go
Warm all year, no wetsuit needed. Strong sun, specially from October to February. Rainy season from February until May with occasional showers.
What to Expect
Choppy waves, but excellent ramps build up at some points. Size up to 2m possible. Nice beach break as well. At weekends don't ride right in front of the barraca, due to many swimmers. Downwind it is empty. Excellent conditions with swell and low tide, a good wave about 200m away from the beach breaks in front of Barraca O Costa. Easy pushing waves, great for wave beginners.
