Praia Brava in Rio de Janeiro Norte is a fairly exposed beach/jetty break that has reasonably consistent surf, although summer tends to be mostly flat. Offshore winds blow from the northwest. Groundswells more frequent than windswells and the ideal swell direction is from the east. The beach breaks offer lefts and rights. Sometimes crowded. The crowds in the water make a gath helmet a good idea.
