Additional Information
IF YOU ARE LUCKY YOU WILL FIND THE PLACE AND PARK YOUR CAR WITH THE PERMISSION OF THE LAND OWNER IN FRONT OF THE SPOT. IF THERE IS NO ONE IN THE LINE UP IT WILL BE A LITTLE HARD TO LOCATE THE RIGHT TAKE OFF POINT.
BUT WHEN YOU TAKE THE RITHIM IT WILL BE A VERY NICE RIDE WITH VERY STRONG AND FAST WALLS AND OCCASIONAL TUBES. IT WILL BE PERFECT IN A NO WIND DAY WHAT IS NOT SO COMMON IN THE REGION. BUT IT IS RIDEABLE WITH WIND, WHICH IS ALMOST ALWAYS ON SHORE, AS WELL. TAKE CARE WITH THE DROP (A REAL LAUNCHING PAD) UNTIL YOU REALLY ARE ON IT. IF YOU FIND WHERE THE PLACE IS PLEASE DONT FUCK IT UP.
Atmosphere
REAL AMAZING. NICE PEOPLE INCREDIBLE LANDSCAPE AND AWESOME ATHMOSFERE. BAHIA IS THE PLACE WHERE THE ROCKY AND CORAL REEFS FROM NORTHEST REGION ARE STILL HIT BY THE THE STRONG SOUTHERN SWEELS. FURTHER NORTH THE SWEELS TEND TO LOSE INTENSITY AND CONSISTENCY.
General
IT FIRES ON THE RIGHT DAYS.

The best spot northeast main land - This is the best spot I´ve ever surfed in Brazil´s Northeast main land (I mean, without considering Fernando de Noronha).A very shallow reef with the rights better than the lefts.The wave is very powerful and with low tide you have to take off carefully in order not to be lauched over the falls.It works on windless days which are a little rare in the region. When the wind is on it will be probably on shore.A short but intense ride.Used to be located in a marvelous enviroment (in front of an old coconut farm). Nowadays I heard they built a condo in the place and I do not know how is it.
