 Additional Information

It is a small beach, good structure with restaurants and hotels. You park your car in front of the beach. No need to worry about robbery, very safe place. The wave is very strong and consistant, always. If somewhere around has no waves, be sure you'll find them at Prainha. The best swell direction is SE and the best wind is NW or W, wich is more common early in the morning. Best spot is in the southern corner of the beach, where you find the righthander. In front of the life guard house, you'll ride both lefthanders and righthanders. On the northern corner, you'll find the lefthanders, but they are not so often and so good as the others. Get prepared for tubes on the inside section. Outside section is for manouvers. Due to the strong Rip currents, look where the local surfers are entring to access. If you are not used to this beach enter in front of the Life guard post and once ouside of the breaking point. Surfing close to the rocks can be dangerous for whom that don't know the dynamic of the water streams.
