Do you like tubes? This break will be your favorite! When the conditions are right (= clean and solid swell from the West), Corais has perfect left and right tubes, in low tide.

Between Concha Beach (south of Boca da Barra) and Resende (the beach before Tiririca), there’s a break called “Corais” with its perfect tubes to the left and right. You should access it by paddling North from Resende Beach. It’s close to 10 minutes of paddling and the first break you’ll reach will be “Buraco do Barbudo” with predominantly lefts. Paddle a bit farther north to catch rights.

This break only works with deep waves (waves at high tide, with oceanic swell) and surfing here is always serious, due to the coral bottom and the lack of canals that allow easy paddling to the outside or to get back to shore. On top of that, there’s not a beach in front of the waves, but instead a giant rock wall. This break is for advanced surfers; always ask for guidance from local surfers.
