Toninhas
Edit SpotAbout
Needs either an East swell or a very strong South swell. Not so constant, since East swells are less frequent than South swells, but when it is breaking it has very fun waves. The "muro branco" spot has a long right (100m) when swell is above 1.5m. The north corner has a good left in front of the rocks that divide Toninhas and Praia Grande. This spot is called "Laje" and you may even catch a right and surf all the way to Praia Grande when the swell is above 1.5m. When the swell is smaller, the north corner has lots of fun peaks right next to the rocks.
Additional Info:
There are 3 main spots: 2 in the north corner and another one right in the middle of the beach in front of the white wall that has become the name of the spot "muro branco".
