Guaratuba Praia Brava
Edit SpotAbout
The water is not much polluted, this wave can give you very funny momments when it's in good conditions. Strong rights in SE swell and many barrels under E swell.
It's a good place to begginers in the samaller days, but only for EXP surfers above 4ft.
When the tide is low the wave breaks higher.
Additional Info:
It'is great strip of sand.
You can park or car in front of the the beach safely.
It usually breaks with no more than 3 ft. With a good swell from east and with a little wind from west it can breaks from funny 3-6ft to hollow 4-8ft, but it is rare(so so 7 days/month).
