Spot notes
Photographing surf in Praia Grande
Praia Grande receives a lot of Atlantic energy and offers a strong visual backdrop. The peaks shift with the sand and the session can move from maneuvers to barrels within a few meters.
Conditions
Best with east wind and organized northwest swell. Currents and size require careful reading.
Photo angle
The cliff creates high points and graphic backgrounds, useful for images that place surf in the landscape.
