Campeche
I just left the island and surfed Campeche twice. First day there was 1 other guy only and he got his waves and I got mine. Second day I surfed it solo. Loads of long rights walling up all the way down the beach 100m past the restaurants. Locals were fine, I think the water was too cold for them actually as they only watched from the beach. We just had to cut a deal with the fishermen that if the Tainha (sea mullet) start running we would get out. That didn't happen so I had hassle free sessions. Brazilians will tell you stories of grandeur about violence and tough locals but they are full of shit. I have been surfing Floripa since 1997 and never had dramas. I am a Dee Why local and have experienced more tension at North Narrabeen than here anytime. The Brazilians surf like they drive and live life, without regard or caution. They will drop in on you (and eachother) in a moment so avoid the busy breaks like Joaquina and Mole or anywhere for that matter where there are people watching from the beach. They love surfing the spots where they can be seen and then later slip into their budgie smugglers and play beach tennis. Anyhow I rate Campeche, surf it and charge hard!!

Error in the description
The wave type is actually a sand bar, not a simple beach break. Yes, the bottom is sand, but if you check an aerial photo of the spot you will notice that the beach sort of goes into the ocean, combine that with the south swells and you get long, powerful rights with different sections. It can gt very good, but it is usually VERY crowded

surfed it last carnival (feb 2006). caught it on a classic day, 4-5 ft, offshore, barreling, long rides. Excellent !!! crowded, but there were waves for everyone, locals respected me, as i respected them, nice people.
