Querencia in Rio Grande Do Sul is an exposed beach/jetty break that has inconsistent surf. Autumn and winter are the best times of year for waves. Offshore winds blow from the west northwest. Most of the surf here comes from groundswells and the ideal swell angle is from the south. The beach break provides left and right handers. Even when there are waves, it's not likley to be crowded. Take care of wrecks, rips.
