About

As the other reefs in the area, this is the most perfect one and gets better and better, low the tide is and the bigger the swell is. And because it is very far from the beach, it is not so crowded and guys who go there have the friendship spirit, so nobody gets in trouble.

Atmosphere:
Another Indonesian style surf. If you don't want to paddle that long, rent a boat at Barra Sul.

Additional Info:
Park your car in Atlantica Avenue, get in the water and paddle as if you were going to Africa. It will take you like 40 minutes to get there, at least... Parcel spot needs a big East swell. And the bigger the swell is, the best it gets. It is an extreme powerfull wave, both left and right hander, as you can see in the video attached. As it if very far from the beach, classical condition appears when there is no wind or the wind is coming smoothly from west or northwest. Perfect wave, but rare. It needs big swell to wake up, as the other north shore reef-rocky points of Santa Catarina.
