About

I think this spot can be the most perfect thing in whole fuckin Brazil, it can be awesome.
Then, there are days where you don’t even wanna look at it.

Atmosphere:
This spot is kind of weird to describe, because it hasn’t really been discovered by all the surfers yet, because it’s not very popular. Most of the surfers go to Posto 3, 5 or 6 in Barra da Tijuca. The thing is, that the spot mostly doesn’t have as good waves as the other postos I mentioned, but I know, from my own experience that this spot can be compared with some very popular beaches where only pros surf and which normally are very crowded. If you ever have the luck to surf here on this spot when it’s good, then you’ll think you are in Australia, Hawaii or something like that. There was this one day; the waves were so perfect that I couldn’t believe what I was seeing. That day you couldn’t really do anything wrong. The waves were that good. Well, the water was a bit cold, but I would accept that everyday if it was that perfect all the time. The waves where hollow, it was easy to get in them and they broke peeeeeeerrrrrrffffffeeeecccctttttllllyyyyyyyyyyy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! No doubt! To be honest, there aren’t a lot of days like these. When it isn’t like this the waves normally break on a very shallow sand bank and they have a lot of strength and break with a great tube!! It is kind of strange because you can’t see how the waves are from outside the water, you have to be in front of them, you have to surf them to see how big they are and how they break. From the outside they normally look tiny, but when you are in front of one you’ll probably change what you thought about it before.

Additional Info:
You can park your car right on a parking spot. They're all along the beach road.
