Overview

Piratininga is an ocean beach located in Niterói, across from Rio de Janeiro. The spot is exposed to south swells and mainly benefits from SW winds during cold front passages. The beach offers regular wave conditions. NE wind can also work but is less frequent here due to the protection from the hills. Suited for intermediate riders.
