Abricadabras
Abricadabras is one of Fernando de Noronha's hidden gems, a reef break between islands that produces perfect waves for those who know where to look. The takeoff is relatively easy, lulling surfers into a false sense of security before the inside section throws over extremely shallow reef. The wave requires local knowledge to access and time correctly, making it a reward for surfers who invest in building relationships on the island.
