Additional Information
In big days it's a very fast wave, so don't wait too long to stand up otherwise you'll get a good sized wipe out and suck in some nice water.
Park your car along the road.
Atmosphere
When it's happening there are many beach-brakes. The beach is pretty big but it geats very crowded easily. Be cool with the locals and don't drop in in anyone's wave otherwise you'll be taken out of the water and will get your ass jiu-jitsued. During the summer it's the best spot to hang out.
General
Well, Praia brava is amazing in the weekends, by day you can surf quality waves, and by night you can go in for a hell of a night in the nighthouses.

hi there - Praia Brava is at Itajai, not in Floripa. It's a standard wave; and the worst, rarely break, always flat...
