Ipanema is typically better known for the beach scene (and of coure the famous song “The Girl from Ipanema”), but can be decent with the right conditions. Very fickle and will leave you guessing how it can have sick barrels one day and nothing noteworthy the next. The attitude is very friendly and is mostly full of tourists. Grab your best short board when it’s going off.
