Praia da Ferrugem

Praia da Ferrugem is Garopaba's most-surfed beach and one of the most consistent waves in Brazil — a roughly 1 km sand-bottom beach break whose north corner peels a hollow, fast right that draws the crowd, while the middle of the beach takes almost any swell. It holds clean, well-formed peaks up to head-high on a S/SE winter groundswell and tends to close out much beyond that.
