Close do Arpoador, it´s an option when there is no waves in the other spots of the area, but it also can get very good and clean when the other spots get stormy.

Very cool, there's a rock there that you can see. When it's big it makes triangular waves.

Additional Info:
There is a lot of bodyboards in Diabo, it is a quick wave, there are a lots of barrels. To the left side of Diabo there is the "Inferno" that many times is better than Diabo, but in Inferno is a militar area so you can't sit on the sand. When there is no waves in the city, check there it will probably have 1/2m waves.

Diabo has 3 beaches. Be careful the first on the right it's ok, the second and the third are military areas you can reach these 2 only by padling, the sand access can not be used. When there is no waves in the city it will be probably breaking in Diabo.

Be careful with Ghetto boys, on the week-end a lot of dogs are there with their owners.
Be careful WITH FAVELADOS! (modybuggies locals).
