Surf Spot Description

Atmosphere

General

With a good 6 to 8ft NE swell at low tide (only breaks at low tide}, drop
late, gain the wall (eventually there is a tubing first section), carve and
make strong maneuvers, then enter in the inside section gain velocity
and kick off as fast as you can before you hit the rock wall that stands
in front of you.

Very good break which I repute as one of the best reef breaks in
Brazil, if not the best one. The only problem is that it is not very
consistent because it needs a combination of the right swell with the
rigth tide. Take care with the rocks very sharp and the urchins, booties
can be a must. Pay attention to the rising tide that can make a hell for
you to get out of the water.
I only can't rate it as a classic because the lack of consistency.

Additional Surf Info

Be careful with the botton. The coral reefs are dangerous and the
waves are fast and powerfull!

Atmosphere

Boldr and others beachs in Fernando de Noronha are the Paradise.

If you come to Brazil, forget Rio de Janeiro...<br>+<br>The
atmosphere is perfect, good surf spots, a lot of different beaches,
some with sand, rocks or reef. Everybody can find the perfect wave
there, and some views from the island are incredible. If you dive, youll
like the place too. Some of the best places that I dived and saw so
much species of fish and everything, you get stoked.
It's a surfer's paradise in Brazil... Only in Fernando de Noronha you
will get barrels in Brazil...<br>+<br>My wife and I, we gonna come
back soon, for sure. The swell comes from the Aores, and when it
hits the island, for us in Brazil its like Hawaii for the Americans. Thats
our Big Island, Fernando de Noronha. Pernambuco - BRAZIL. Always
respect the nature and the the locals.

Cacimba is the Brazilian version of Pipeline! This is a fast, hollow and

very powerful wave that requires a high technical level from those
willing to charge it in a big day. The guy in the pictures is a top 44. In
the day those pictures were taken he was one of the only ones having
fun there. The other guys in the line up were only experiencing
Cacimba's heavy lip in amazing head-first-drops and broken boards.

Relaxed and laid back atmosphere. Localism is inexistent. The whole

population of Fernando de Noronha is directly involved with tourism.
Local surfers are people who work in the islands hotels, rent boats,
guide tourist, etc... Therefore, you will probably have already met
some of the local surfers by the time you get into the water.
The bottom of Cacimba do Padre as of most other spots in the island
is formed by flat rocks covered by sand. Northern swells start to break
in the island by November. However, it is during February and March
that waves get into their best formation, as the waves have excavated
the sand from the bottom.
