Paúba

Edit Spot

About

Usually the best waves here are rights, but there´re some good hollow lefts too. If you are prepared to take the drop, you can ride HUUUUUUUGE barrels here and get spit out of it.

Atmosphere:
This is a SICK spot. The waves here are very powerfull and gnarly. However the bottom is sandy it´s very shallow. The waves breaks close to the beach and take a set over you head on big days here can be danger. It´s easy to break boards in two pieces here. The place it´s awesome, surrounded by forest and the water it´s warm

Additional Info:
This spot only breaks in huge south or southwest swells. Actually, if you go to Maresias beach and see that the waves are cracking with power, go to Paúba, it´s almost sure that the waves there are rolling.
