Praia das Conchas is a scenic Cabo Frio beach tucked by Morro das Conchas and Morro do Vigia, with a right-hand beach-and-jetty setup that gets more useful on south swell and northwest wind. It is more of a local surf beach than a marquee contest venue, but it can get busy when the surf is on.

Forecast
As of:
Northwest offshore is the cleanest wind window.
The best swell is from the south, and the beach/jetty setup is usually at its most useful when there is enough size to draw shape without turning it into a mess.
Check whether the jetty-side channel is standing up cleanly around the rocks before paddling, because the line changes with the tide.
Stop guessing and start surfing. WaveWise analyzes live data to find your best upcoming sessions so you spend less time planning and more time paddling out.
