Description

Silveira is one of the most incredible waves of Brazil. It´s a point break of Right waves simply incredible. When it´s higher than 3 feet you got to jump from the rocks on the outside, wich is not so difficult but you got to be carefull. The crowd is intense at weekends and moderate during the week but the locals aren´t easy to deal with. Respect and wait for your time (it can take more than one hour)it is wortk it! This wave condition is not so often but you have a sort of very good waves near there. At the same beach you´ll find a powerfull beach break known as Mike Tyson with strong barreling waves. Some miles away there´s Ferrugem Beach wich is a good beach break for the opposite condition of wind (northeast). IMPORTANT!!!! From May 15 to the end of july the mullet fishermen close the beaches to surf and it just opens if it have more than 3 feet waves.
