Ferrugem
Ferrugem is arguably the most consistent surf spot in all of Brazil, with surfable waves an estimated 300 days per year. The beach break picks up any swell direction from SE to S and produces fun, rippable A-frames suitable for all levels. The town has grown into a surf hub with shapers, surf schools, and a vibrant nightlife scene. When everywhere else is flat, Ferrugem usually has something to ride.
