Discription of surf spot: Prainha, Brasil
Prainha is considered by many as Rio's best spot, it is certainly the most constant. If everywhere else is flat there'll be a rideable wave at Prainha. There's no building allowed at Prainha thus localism is not really a problem except for early morning when it is a serious spot for the Pros.
