Camburi

Camburi is an exposed sandy beach break with consistent, fast-breaking waves that peel predominantly left. The spot sits on variable groundswells, most energetic during Southern Hemisphere winter. South-sourced swells paired with northeast offshore winds offer the most defined conditions, though the beach produces rideable surf across multiple tidal stages. Wave quality is described as hollow and relatively fast, with channels present even in varied swell directions. Skill level ranges from intermediate to high, particularly as waves increase in size.

The beach comprises two named sections: Camburi and Camburizinho, separated by a small stream and rocky area. I found limited information about the specific surf history or when the spot entered the regular rotation. A training-circuit surfing competition (Circuito Surf Treino) has been hosted at Camburi, indicating organized activity, though details on broader historical significance or notable sessions are sparse in available sources.

Camburi sits within São Sebastião, roughly 167 kilometers north of São Paulo city, framed by Atlantic Forest (Mata Atlântica). Access includes nearby village amenities—shops, cafés, restaurants—and the area remains relatively uncrowded even during peak swell. The rustic atmosphere and forested backdrop offer non-surf activities like trekking and waterfall visits.
