Praia do Silveira

Edit Spot

About

- When the Point-break is on, it's a world class wave. Held many surfing events.

- Intense crowd on the South so remember: RESPECT THE LOCALS or you gonna be in trouble.

Atmosphere:
This place isn't for "summer surfers" and that doesn't mean localism, you will need a good physical condition and to be prepared for it. It's heavy and dangerous, be careful.

Additional Info:
- Big swells are held on the point break with rocky bottom, on the Southern border. On Northern border, you will find good crowdless beach breaks.

- The inside on southern border holds a fast and tubular wave on smaller swells, which is called Mike Tyson. Can you figure out why? lol

- Respect the people and the nature, then they all will respect you.

- Take a look at this video. It is a "normal day" quality: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3MFRRwGHVLU
