Location
About the spot
Tombo Beach is Guarujá's main surf point and is considered one of the most consistent on the whole São Paulo coast, the only beach in the area with the international Blue Flag seal, earned in 2010. The bottom is rock, with the steep drop that gives the beach its name creating hollow, fast waves that break with power right at the shore, working from 0.5 to 2.5 meters, with the best swell from the south and southeast and west or northwest offshore wind.
It is a spot that practically never goes flat, picking up swells from many directions, with good rights on south swell and the famous Bostró, which works with east swell and provides high-performance surfing. The beach hosts official SPSurf and CBSurf championships throughout the year, with licensed schools operating at the left end, where conditions are more protected on low-tide days. Recommended for surfers with some command of the drop, since the rock bottom requires more attention than an ordinary beach break.
