The spot is found on an almost deserted beach and is accessible by taking the second entrance and parking at Sitio Algodoes, a guesthouse where you can also get some assistance or stay longer if needed. The area is suitable for four-wheel drive vehicles, and from the parking area, it is a short walk to the beach. The surf spot provides both left and right waves. The bottom is a mix of coral reef and sand. Surfing here is possible at medium and high tide, with the best conditions during a rising tide. Swell directions from the northwest and east, along with west winds, are common for this spot. The length of the ride is usually less than 50 meters. The spot is used by a small group of local surfers, and during the week and weekends, crowds are minimal. There are several other surf spots nearby, including Saquaira, Taipu de Fora, Pontal, Boca da Barra, and Praia da Resende. When the spot is crowded, it is important to respect the locals and always check the surf etiquette. Before paddling out, check your skills to make sure the spot and conditions fit your surfing level. The spot is suitable for all levels, but always check the current surf report, forecast, and map before heading out. There is no webcam available for this spot.
