Feiticeiras is a surf spot located at the NW tip of the faja. It's known for its unique wave formations that can get pretty intense. This spot can handle different swells and can be a good choice for those looking to catch some action. The setting around the wave is interesting, but it can be somewhat tricky due to the underwater rocks.
The waves at Feiticeiras are mainly a mix of lefts and rights, breaking over boulders on the reef. It works well with swells coming from the west and east, making it a versatile spot for different conditions. The spot can handle swell sizes starting at around 2 ft (0.6 m) and can get significantly more powerful. It’s important to note that the waves can be fast, hollow, and shallow. The best time to surf here is during low to mid or high tide, especially with a southwest wind to create the ideal conditions. This spot is recommended for expert surfers due to the challenging nature of the waves.
Surprisingly, there is usually no current to worry about at Feiticeiras, which makes it easier to navigate the line-up. However, keep an eye out for the rocks just below the surface, as they can be a hazard if you’re not careful. The waves can link up well with other nearby spots like Igreja and Direta do Passe when the swell is right, offering the chance for some long rides.
