Ponta Grossa in Sao Paulo is an exposed reef break that only works once in a while. Winter is the best time of year for surfing here. Works best in offshore winds from the west southwest. Tends to receive distant groundswells and the ideal swell direction is from the east. There is a right hand reef break. Good surf at all stages of the tide. Rarely crowded here. Take care of rocks in the line up.
