Atmosphere
Located in Ubatuba, this is the big wave spot. The waves open both sides but the rights are better. The wave only shows that it´s alive when a big east swell it´s pumping and can hold up to 12+ ft. Since this spot it´s so unpredictable you can surf it by yourself or with a few other locals who wait all the year to surf this mystic spot.

watch out! - things are heavy there, the wave just jump onto the rocky bottom and explode into a rolling mass of water... a spooky drop, but the is certainly there so you can get your ass out of the wave. you may have to paddle almost one km to praia do cedro to get out of the water

- Huge!
Not for beginners, a beginner cant even get to the spot, coz its really hard to paddle 1km side by side to the rocks when the waves are heavy!
this spot is kinda hard to find, u must have a friend to take you there!
