Located in Pernambuco, Brazil, Serrambi is an excellent collection of reef breaks that offer up square, spitting barrels when the wind is good. The waves here are heavy and break for up to 50 meters (164 feet) over rocky reefs. Localism has gotten heavy here lately.

Gets good between waist-high and double overhead. We recommend riding a shortboard and then a step up as the size picks up. This break is suitable for intermediate and advanced-level surfers. The surf here usually has something to ride (5/10) and will get very crowded (8/10). The best winds are from the West. The best swells are from the East, South, and Southeast. Works on a mid to high tide best.
