Baia Formosa is a fishermen vilage, it has 2 bays. The big one with inside waves for begginners. Here you can find the locals body-boarding with pieces of wood. This bay is good at low tide. Then you must find the little bay next. Here the spot is rocky, for expirienced surfers. Normally is crowed and hard to catch a wave, but worth to wait.
Sometimes, if you are lucky, you can cath a wave in the middle of the little bay and enter surfing the big bay. I've seen it once, is almost a 300 meters ride.

I believe this is the best spot in the northeast of Brazil. You'll have to rent a car (go to Natal). Here people are friendly, besides it's much cheaper than Pipa and other tourisitic places.

I go there every year. Recomend to stay at Villa Bonita, right above the bay.
For cheap accomodations and great hospitality, ask for the pousada de dona Raimunda. Her son Figueredo is one of the best oldtime surfer in Town.

baia formosa rocks! - I have been to brasil few times and once i discovered baia formosa i decided to stay there.
Locals are friendly, the life is really layback and if a swell come in the PONTAL really rock, otherwise there is the 'POINTSECRET' which is a beachbreak 5km farther south that gives always reasonable waves.
