Surf: Unusually for this coastline, Praia Macumba is usually a fat rolling wall, ideal for longboarders and learners since the take-off is slopey and easy. Handles plenty of size but has enough deep channels to get out at the main peak on the eastern point. Can be a bit steeper down the west end and at the sucky bodyboard spot Secrets. Environment: Such an easy wave is gonna attract a lot of older, wiser surfers and those not so wise - be careful on the paddle-outs.
