General Overview

Praia Joaquina, which hosts the only WCT event in Brazil (though the site is usually moved to a spot South of the island for better conditions) is the premier surf spot in Florianopolis. The best and most crowded peak is the left on the North end of the beach which breaks behind Pedra da Careca. There are also lots of lefts and rights to choose from up and down the beach.

Probably the best spot on the island of Florianopolis to surf. If you're not a local, you will have a tough time scoring waves, but hey you're in Brasil so have fun. And there are plenty of other spots on and around the island to surf.
