Itapirubá
Itapirubá is a versatile spot on the Santa Catarina coast where a rocky headland creates quality peaks on both sides. The north and south beaches catch different swell directions, making it a reliable option regardless of which way the ocean is sending energy. The spot sees fewer crowds than more famous nearby breaks, making it a good option for surfers willing to explore a bit further along the coast.
