Ilha in Sao Paulo is an exposed reef break that has fairly consistent surf. Winter is the favoured time of year for surfing here. The best wind direction is from the north northwest. Most of the surf here comes from groundswells and the optimum swell angle is from the southeast. A choice of left and right reefs. Best around low tide. It's sometimes crowded here. Beware of rips and pollution.
