crowded
On a big swell everyone goes there. Certain Brazilians have no surf etiquette.

just go up the hill right hands side and stay in the family run homestay for 5 $ a night the locals should get the money not the gringo tour operaters you don t need a boat to any of these surfspots unless your disabled and you cannot ride a bus swim or walk

options
The point is fun on low tide - throwing fun tubes that aren't too hard to get and mushier at high tide. Winds kicked up around 10 a.m. most days I was there (Sept) and made things not so fun - the evening sometimes glasses off, but it was not a given that it would do so.
The wave has a distinct take off spot at the top of the point, but can section in the middle of the cove and if people were caught taking it slow. The first night out there were 20 people I counted in the line up, but that was the most crowded it got - several times I was one of two or three people).

Options for staying - Las Flores $$$, but everything in the world is provided.
One place was clean - nothing flashy - 4 rooms holding up to 12 people total - around $50 a night - food is extra, boats extra, but toilets and running water were provided. The next place was a total dive - stay for $5 a night - share a room with someone - a fan and a family that lives there is about all there is. Four cinder block rooms with a steel door and no windows (one line of cinder block had air vents) for $10 a night. The last place was a nicer set up - camping for $5 a night - bring your own tent on a clean farm near the water, which made it cool.
