MacMasters Point is located on the other side of the bay, not far from the pool. It's known for its decent waves, but be prepared for a rocky bottom and some local surfers who are quite protective of the spot. It's a bit of a drive from Copacabana along the main road, so getting here requires a little effort, but surfers who make the trip will find some solid conditions.
The waves at MacMasters Point favor a Southeast swell direction, with good conditions coming from the East and South. It can handle swell sizes around 5 feet (about 1.5 meters) and offers mostly right-breaking point waves. The best time to surf here is during low to mid tide or high tide. However, be mindful that the take-off can be critical, and there are powerful bowl sections over boulders that can make things tricky. This spot is really only suited for experienced surfers who know how to navigate these conditions.
While it might be a challenge, the local vibe means it’s best to respect the lineup. The surf here can be fun, but patience is key, especially if there’s a chunkier swell rolling in. If you're up for it, this spot can deliver some solid sessions, just remember to keep it friendly with the locals.
