São Lourenço
7th WAVE
Leaving the Dois Irmãos Bay, and walking north for a few minutes, we will find Praia de São Lourenço, located in a large bay, about 1.2 km wide.
Next to its center, about 300 meters from the beach, is the last of the waves that make up the Reserve. These rights start on a rocky plateau, forming fast waves and with a lot of water, due to the peak being located at a considerable distance from the beach. The São Lourenço wave is normally surfed at half tide and needs N / NO swells, associated with wind from the east quadrant.
