Praia do Forte

Located in Rio de Janeiro, Praia do Forte is a beach break with inconsistent but surfable waves, especially from east swells. The best conditions occur with northwest winds, and the waves work well at all tide stages. The spot is known for its left-hand breaks but can get crowded, so surfers should be cautious of rocks and the busy lineup. Water temperatures remain pleasant year-round, making it a great spot for intermediate surfers.
