Fernando de Noronha

Fernando de Noronha combines UNESCO-protected biodiversity with world-class waves, offering left and right reef breaks that are 30% longer on average than continental Brazilian spots. Its crystal-clear waters and consistent swells from April to October produce rides over 500 meters, a duration 1.5 times longer than #1 Praia de Itauna's typically shorter, more explosive sessions. With a marine park entrance fee of R$ 100, it's pricier than the average national park, but the uncrowded lineup and water temperature of 26°C year-round justify the investment. This spot also outperforms #4 Maresias in wave quality consistency, making it a must for expedition surfers.
