Today's score by level (at the day's best, out of 100)
Beach break in Fortaleza, the most consistent in Ceará. Main season on Northern Hemisphere swells from November to April.
Surfable all year. Autumn (Sep-Nov) is the best season: powerful swells, water still mild, less crowd.
Ideal for starting out or longboarding. Mellow waves, little current, surf school usually nearby.
Easy beach access, parking usually nearby. Ask locally about seasonal currents.
Wear an appropriate wetsuit. Scout the currents before you paddle out. Respect the locals and right-of-way. Check weather and tides.
At Praia do Futuro, tide isn't a deciding factor: the spot stays surfable across most tide states. Focus on the swell and the wind instead.
Praia do Futuro is rather accessible to beginners when the waves stay small and the wind is light. Still, check currents, tide and local guidelines before entering.
The ideal wind at Praia do Futuro comes broadly from South-West: it's offshore, which helps shape and hold the waves. A strong onshore wind generally degrades conditions.
Around Praia do Futuro, you can also check conditions at Le Diamant, Galion, Tartane. Compare the scores, wind and swell direction before choosing where to surf.
