About this Spot

Futuro is a surf spot located in Ceará, Brazil, on the main beach of Fortaleza, on the east side of the city. The spot is known for its sandy bottom and works on all tides, offering a regional classic surf experience. The surf spot provides both left and right waves. Wave length ranges from 50 to 150 meters, and the spot is very consistent throughout the year. The crowd is usually light, but it is important to respect the locals and check the surf etiquette, especially when the spot gets busy. The area is lined with many kiosks and bars along the beach, making it easy to find food and drinks after a session. Praia do Futuro is about 8 kilometers long and is famous for its beachside restaurants, called barracas, which serve local dishes and seafood. The water temperature is warm year-round, between 27°C and 29°C, so boardshorts or bikinis are comfortable for surfing. Rips and undertow can be present, so always check your skills before paddling out, be sure that the spot and conditions fit your surfing level.
