About

Uncrowded and friendly spot. The waves break far away of costline, so, the mostly surfers dont't like to surfing out there. When the swell come up to 10' you can take unforgetable rides...epic days...

Atmosphere:
Isn't spot for unexperienced surfers.Be careful when falling tides on big swells

Additional Info:
To go outside you will need to be be really safe in the ocean. You have to paddle out for 20 - 30 minutes ( normal days) That's is a very easy padle, and very easy waves at 4' but, is hard to surf outhere if you have not experienced. When the waves get big over 6' -8 ' is time to paddle hard. There is the mostly long waves in the brasilian coast. The regular waves is right but, when the swell get big, the waves break in outside for both sides , and you can ride lefts to the channel...but the rigths will take you for a mostly long wave ride on the brazilian coastline ..it's amazing waves.
