Serrambi in Pernambuco is an exposed reef break that does not work very often. Winter is the best time of year for surfing here. Offshore winds are from the west northwest. Tends to receive a mix of groundswells and windswells and the ideal swell angle is from the southeast. There are left and right breaking reefs. Best around mid tide. When the surf is up, it can get quite busy in the water. Beware of crowds,rocks and sharks.
