Additional Surfing Infos |
| | Park your car in "Avenida Alântica"(beach main- street) and you probably will see the tubes breaking near the beach!
It's in front of a street called "Xavier da Silveira"
|
| |
Overview |
| |
Atmosphere |
It's a very powerfull wave when the big sweel comes, with a lot of local bodyboarders.
A hard drop and search for the tube, because it's the only way out...
When it's medium or small it offers a good tube, always with a radical drop.
Generally the waves in Copacabana comes with a big swell( check out "baixio" and "posto 6" ).
The best season is in the winter, but it can break everytime a big sweel comes.When it's really big, the outside posto 5 starts working and the waves there go up to 12 feet!!Look for "Baixio"
Enjoy the tubes... |

General |
In the 60's Copacabana had many surfspots, but with the duplication of Avenida Atlantica the bottom was destroyed, and now posto 5 is one of the only surf options there. The wave breaks only for a few days and depends usually on a big swell.
The wave is strong, a real shorebreak. |
