SurfThanks to its geographical position, the Rio Grande do Norte' s coasts get North, South, Southeast and East swells that allows surfing at any moment of the year.The best spots are located between Tibau do Sul and Praia da Pipa,the best period is from November to March, thanks to the North swell that comes from the Atlantic North and the end of the trade winds.

But also many other secret spots to discover!! Surf lessonsSurfing in BrasilMore than 8000 Km of coasts are extended from the Subtropical South to the Equatorial North throughout 17states.This immense costal strip gets 3 kinds of swells. The main generator swell is a cold front which from the South states, moves up to Bahia and sometimes further. The South Pole generates depressions and anticyclones. They have particular effects in each region of our planet. There are depressions that cross the Indian Ocean, sending waves towards South Africa then towards Indonesia and West Australia.It is different on the South America Atlantic side, the cold fronts focus on the Horn, and directly come up to the North. Most of these depressions systems disintegrate on the Alantic, along the Argentinian, Uruguayan and Brazilian coasts. Sometimes, it's as regular as a clockwork. Let's analyse a regular cycle. The classical South-East Brazilian sunny day is ventilated by North-East winds .When a cold front arrives, the wind begins to turn. First towards the North then towards the North-West , South-West and South to finish. Wind from the South, in Brazil, is a synonym of waves. The swell generally lasts from 3 to 5days , according to the front and winds' intensity .Sometimes, these weather systems end quickly, leaving behind them waves and sun. When the North-East wind comes back, completing the cycle, the beaches orientated towards the South benefit from perfect off-shore conditions and sunny weather. The second 'wave-machine' generates East swells :there are powerful anticyclones that sometimes formed in the middle of the South Atlantic between Brazil and Africa. These swells are rare but they are sometimes very powerful and last more than those from the cold fronts. Some of these swells last a week with sunny weather but it goes deteriorating day after day. That situation ends up when a new quite strong cold front arrives from the South, scattering the remaining of this anticyclonic swell.
