Pipa Lajão
Tibau do Sul, RN, Brazil
🪨Rocks⚠️Shallow
Pipa Lajão is a rocky right point that offers longer rides than the nearby beach breaks. The wave wraps around the headland with hollow and ripable sections, making it a step up in quality when conditions align. The rocky bottom requires care but produces more defined waves than the sandy breaks nearby.
