Surfing in Fernando de Noronha: The Brazilian Hawaii of swells
Fernando de Noronha is widely regarded as one of the best surfing destinations in Brazil and is often referred to as the Brazilian Hawaii due to its powerful and consistent swells.
Wave Season
The surfing season in Fernando de Noronha is between November and March, when swells from the North Atlantic hit the island, bringing waves from 1 to 5 metres high. February and March are considered the best months, with offshore winds and consistent swells..
Outside this period, especially between April and September, the sea tends to be flat, with few opportunities for surfing.
