Silveira Point
Silveira Point, nicknamed "Mike Tyson" by locals for its punching power, is one of southern Brazil's best right-hand point breaks. The wave wraps around a rocky headland and offers long, hollow rides when solid S swells light up the coast. The takeoff is intense and the inside section throws thick lips over shallow rock, making it a spot that demands respect. The local crew here is tight-knit and experienced, so visiting surfers should show proper etiquette.

Frequently Asked Questions
What kind of wave is Silveira Point?
Silveira Point is a point break in Garopaba, SC, Brazil, that mostly breaks right.
What swell works best at Silveira Point?
Silveira Point picks up swell from the SSE round to the SSW, and it's best when it's coming straight out of the S. That's a tight window, so it needs the swell direction to line up. It starts working at around 1.2m and handles up to about 3.5m, with the sweet spot around 2.2 to 2.9m. Period matters too: aim for 14s or longer, as anything under 10s tends to be weak. These are the numbers our scoring uses, so treat them as a guide rather than a promise.
What wind is offshore at Silveira Point?
A N wind is dead offshore at Silveira Point, and anything from the NW round to the NE keeps it clean. The morning is typically the best window, roughly 5am to 10am. Light winds from other directions can still be fine; strong offshores can make it hard to get into waves.
