Pedra Branca Spot Guide

Pedra Branca, or White Rock, is not only one of the most famous breaks in the area, it is also the most prominent. Breaking out on the end of the headland opposite the campsite, it's highly visible and exposed to swell and wind. On smaller days there's a fun, if shallow lefthand wall that peels along this flat rock slab. However, when Autumn swells kick in, it can be transformed into a jacking, death or glory pit as waves lunge out of deep water onto the shallow ledge, with square barrels up to double overhead. Crowded with expert locals when it's firing. There is also a right that peels over sand and reef in the Praia de Pedra Branca bay just to the south - a long fun wall that caters for all abilities.
