The Wave
Southwest wind is the cleanest offshore window, and east swell is the trigger.
Currents can move quickly, so check which channels are open and how the sand line is standing up before paddling out.

Praia das Dunas
Praia das Dunas is Cabo Frio's dune-backed surf beach, a broad sand face wrapped by white dunes and known more for useful east-swell checks and strong currents than for glamour. It is a practical local surf spot with a rougher shoreline feel, especially when the tide and sand line up the wrong way.
