Pico de Matinhos
Pico de Matinhos is Paraná state's best right-hand point, a throaty barrel that wraps around a rocky headland with impressive intensity. The wave offers excellent length on solid S swells and produces some of the best tubes in southern Brazil outside of Santa Catarina. The local crew is tight but welcoming to respectful visitors.
