Cepilho

Paraty, RJ, Brazil
🪨Rocks

Cepilho is a rocky point break near the colonial town of Paraty, offering quality waves in a stunning jungle-meets-ocean setting. The wave wraps around the rocks and produces both lefts and rights depending on the swell direction. The nearby town is one of Brazil's best-preserved colonial gems, making this an excellent surf/culture combination.
