Praia do Morro Branco

Morro Branco is a low-key beach break on the northeastern coast of Ceará, sitting roughly 4 km from Beberibe town and backed by the rust-colored sandstone cliffs the region is famous for. The wave picks up NE and E groundswells that funnel in along this exposed stretch of coast, and peaks shift depending on sandbar position. Offshore winds from the SW keep faces clean, and the break starts showing shape from around 3ft, comfortably handling up to 6ft before it gets messy. All tides produce rideable surf, though mid tide tends to organize the banks best. Crowd pressure is minimal on weekdays and light on weekends, making it a relaxed option for surfers who want space. Bottom: sand. Season: consistent trade-swell period runs Mar through Aug. Consistency: moderate. Bring a fish or a groveler for the smaller, punchier days and expect short, fun walls rather than long critical sections.
