Rio Surf & City Break

September and October in Rio mark the transition into warmer months. Expect mostly sunny days, comfortable temperatures, and lower humidity compared to peak summer. It can still be a bit cooler in the mornings and evenings, so bringing a light jacket is a good idea. Light clothing, sun protection, and a hat are still essential.

The water temperature is usually around 21 to 23°C. Most days are comfortable without a wetsuit, but depending on conditions and personal preference, a light wetsuit can make sessions more enjoyable. We recommend a short or full suit around 1.5mm to 2mm if you prefer extra warmth. Need help choosing one? Just reach out.

Every day in Rio is different. The itinerary stays flexible and may be adjusted depending on local events and surf conditions, so you always get the best possible experience.

Rio always has something to offer. If the waves are not ideal for surfing, we use the time to explore other sides of the city through scenic hikes or cultural experiences.

European travelers with a passport valid for at least 6 months from the date of entry can enter Brazil visa-free for an initial period of up to 90 days. This can be extended for an additional 90 days by applying through the Brazilian Federal Police.

Minors must meet the following conditions to travel: they must be accompanied by at least one adult and carry a notarized authorization from both parents, or from the non-traveling parent.

If you feel like staying longer in Rio, we are happy to help you extend your stay, depending on room availability and additional costs. Please note that any extra nights outside the trip dates, including arriving earlier or leaving later, are not included and will be at your own expense.

Surf lessons are organized based on your level, so you can progress at your own pace and enjoy every session. Intermediate and advanced surfers usually start early around 6:00 AM to catch the best conditions, while beginners have dedicated sessions around 8:00 AM.

Currently, no vaccines are required to enter Brazil. However, we recommend checking the latest information before traveling through official health sources. Vaccines commonly recommended by global health organizations include Hepatitis A, Hepatitis B, Yellow Fever, and Typhoid.

We know safety is important. Upon arrival, we organize an introduction session about Rio de Janeiro, including its history and social context. We will go over potential risks and how to avoid them, along with simple precautions to help you feel comfortable and relaxed during your stay. Common things to be mindful of include phone theft, walking in poorly lit areas at night, and wearing visible valuables.

The local currency in Brazil is the Real, also written as BRL or R$. You can withdraw money from ATMs, which usually charge a fixed fee but offer a good exchange rate. Cards like Revolut or Wise work well and automatically convert currency at competitive rates. An ATM withdrawal typically costs around 20 BRL. The maximum withdrawal per transaction is usually around 1000 BRL.
