Azarujinja is a relatively quiet surf spot located on the eastern side of the São João area. It's known for its sheltered position, which makes it a good choice when west winds are blowing. The wave here can deliver some classy sessions, especially during winter storms when the swell really picks up. It’s not always crowded, but be prepared for some local vibe, as surfers tend to be protective of their home break.

This spot features a reliable lefthander that comes alive most during mid tide. It handles swells from the west, south, and northwest, making it a versatile location for various swell directions. The wave can start rolling at around 2 feet (approximately 0.6 meters) and breaks over an uneven reef and sand. While there’s also a low tide right, the left is where the real action is, often drawing more surfers. If you are an intermediate level surfer, you'll find it manageable, especially when the conditions align with a northeast wind.

While Azarujinja has its strengths, it can get busy when the conditions are good, so it's wise to be patient and respectful in the water. The unique combination of wave types and directions really makes it an intriguing spot for those looking to improve their skills or just enjoy a solid surf session.
