Sulima

Sulima is a remote, exposed Atlantic beach break near the mouth of the Moa River. The coastline is characterized by sandy, open-water conditions and a river-mouth setup that can create multiple peaks along the beach. Water is generally described as clean, and temperatures remain warm year-round, which reduces the need for thermal protection beyond light swimwear or rash protection. For surfing, the spot is reported as having left and right waves over a sandy bottom, with a hollow and fast/powerful feel that is best suited to experienced surfers. Mid tide is repeatedly highlighted as the time to aim for the most favorable wave presentation, while very large Atlantic swell may bring heavier, more disorganized conditions. The wave exposure is real—this is not a sheltered break—so wind and swell alignment matter. Wind is most consistently kite-able in summer, with June, July, and August called out repeatedly. Wind direction is described in different ways across providers, but surfing conditions are specifically linked to offshore-from-north patterns, while afternoon sea-breeze development (summer) is noted and can affect chop. Kite recommendations in the sources center on mid-to-large sizes suitable for ocean swell and independent riding. Safety is a major theme for Sulima. Hazards include sharks, rips/undertow, and strong currents near the river mouth, plus private-beach and localism considerations. Multiple sources stress that the area is very remote with no lifeguards and no organized rescue availability; the practical expectation is to be self-sufficient, use a buddy system, and obtain permission through local authorities before launching or surfing.
