Probably
the best and most consistent wave in
the Island. It is the capital of surfing
in Southern Brazil, handles almost any
swell, but the best conditions are
E swell with NE wind or W wind. The famous left breaks from behind the Pedra
da Careca, a small rock which stands close to the left side of the beach. On
good days there's some really long and powerful waves with several sessions.
If you go further south down the beach there's always good surfing spots with
good lefts and rights.
At these
points the crowd factor and hassle are
reduced. Locals surf on the left side
more often. If you're here in Florianopolis
you HAVE TO surf at Joaquina.Opened during
Mullet fishing season.
