Verified September 2026
The bookable Wavegarden in Latin America, in one of the region's best surf areas. The resort build-out continues, but it has little bearing on a visiting surfer's session.
Surfland Brasil in Garopaba, Santa Catarina, is the Brazilian Wavegarden you can book. Its Wavegarden Cove 2.0 pool opened on 17 November 2023, minutes from the ocean surf of Garopaba and Praia do Rosa. The surrounding timeshare resort, 278 apartments in seven buildings, has been delayed by years and several lawsuits and is now due to open on 5 December 2026.
A 150-meter Wavegarden Cove 2.0 with lefts and rights, sending a wave every 4 seconds on each side and 450 waves an hour, with 13 wave types and faces up to 1.90 meters. Reef rides average 16 seconds. The menu runs from knee-high Bay waves for beginners through Intermediário, Intermediário Plus, Avançado and Avançado Plus to Expert Barrels, and a Turns 3 setting added in July 2024 is the longest turns wave on the menu. Sessions last 50 minutes.
Anyone in southern Brazil wanting guaranteed waves, and travelling surfers pairing a pool session with Santa Catarina's ocean surf. Garopaba and Praia do Rosa are wave destinations in their own right, so the pool and the ocean complement each other.

Fly to Florianópolis, about 56 miles north by road. Base in Garopaba or Praia do Rosa, surf the ocean when the swell cooperates, and book pool sessions for the flat days. Summer weekends sell out, so book before you travel.
