Located in Fernando de Noronha, Brazil, Abras is an excellent right-hand reef break that offers up a good barreling wall on the rare occasions it breaks. The waves here can be challenging to surf and break for up to 100 meters over a reef. Early sessions are often best as onshore winds pick up in the afternoon.
