Highly manoeuvrable wave formed by a sand bank at the mouth of the Contas River. The first stretch of the wave receives the name of "Boca da Barra" and only breaks when the beachbreaks are closing. The inside banking is called "Pontal" and may present extensive tubes . In some days different wave section become connected forming waves that allowing two minutes of surfing. Low crowds because of strong currents. Access is made through the Concha beach . Waves range from 1 to 4 metres.
