Is Praia de Iracema good for beginners?

Not really. Heavy paddle-outs, strong rips and powerful sections make it an advanced wave. Newer surfers are far better off at a mellower nearby beach break first.

What board should I ride at Praia de Iracema?

On punchy days a step-up or your everyday shortboard handles the power. On smaller, weaker days a fish or mid-length keeps you moving through the flat sections.

Local knowledge

Suits: Intermediate, Advanced

Early morning, before the wind comes up. Aim for a light offshore around dawn on a mid-to-low pushing tide with a clean groundswell — that combination produces the cleanest, most makeable peaks.
