Main city peak of Maceió, at lifeguard post 7 on Jatiúca beach beside the seafront avenue. On a good swell waves start on a reef about 500 m out and can be ridden a long way towards the sand; the walls are soft, better for turns than barrels. Expect a long paddle and a crowded, competitive line-up. Beginners should stay on the inside on small days and not leave valuables on the sand.
