Additional Surfing Infos
 There is a lot of bodyboards in Diabo, it is a quick wave, there are a lots of barrels. To the left side of Diabo there is the "Inferno" that many times is better than Diabo, but in Inferno is a militar area so you can't sit on the sand. When there is no waves in the city, check there it will probably have 1/2m waves.
+
Diabo has 3 beaches. Be careful the first on the right it's ok, the second and the third are military areas you can reach these 2 only by padling, the sand access can not be used. When there is no waves in the city it will be probably breaking in Diabo.
+
Be careful with Ghetto boys, on the week-end a lot of dogs are there with their owners.
Be careful WITH FAVELADOS! (modybuggies locals).
  Overview
  Atmosphere You can talk with the people they are friendly.
+
Close do Arpoador, it´s an option when there is no waves in the other spots of the area, but it also can get very good and clean when the other spots get stormy.
+
Very cool, there's a rock there that you can see. When it's big it makes triangular waves.
  General Barrels and pipes.
+
COOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLLLLL but you can break your board into pieces on big days.

A Great Second Option
If you found very crowd Arpoador, Diabo is a great second option for who wanna get into good barrels. Is the beach on the other side of Arpodor's rock. But be careful!!!Diabo is divided in two parts: The smaller beach and the bigger. The last one is Army's property and nobody is allowed to walk in the sand. But surfing that is no problem!Good waves...
