About this Spot

Ponta dos Mangues is a surf spot located in Alagoas and Sergipe, Brazil. The spot sits in the municipality of Pacatuba, Sergipe, and is part of the Santa Isabel Biological Reserve, an area with mangroves, lagoons, and dunes. The beach is about 68 km north from Pacatuba, with access via BR 235 and BR 101 highways, then a 19 km drive along SE 335. The area is wild and remote, so getting there is easier with a 4×4 vehicle, either by the beach or off-road. The bottom is sandy, and the spot works on all tides. The surf here is a regional classic, with waves breaking less than 50 meters in length. The spot provides both left and right waves. Surfing conditions are best during the winter months, especially when a south swell meets northwest offshore winds. The frequency of surf is not constant, so sometimes it breaks and sometimes it doesn’t. The spot is usually empty, but it can get crowded during events or good swells. When crowded, respect the locals and always check the surf etiquette. The area is part of a biological reserve, so expect a natural and preserved environment. The beach is known for its tranquility and the presence of mangroves. There are rip currents and the presence of sharks, so stay alert. The spot is suitable for all levels, but always check your skills before paddling out, be sure that the spot and conditions fit your surfing level. The nearest city is Aracaju.
