Reefs off this fishing beach on the north side of Maceió, between Jacarecica and Riacho Doce, give peaks both ways on south to south-east groundswell. Best around low tide, when natural pools also form inside the reef; a west to north-west wind is offshore. Rarely crowded. Beginners should watch from the beach first to see where the reef sits before paddling out.
