CLICK TO ENLARGE MAP

Espanhol (Spanish): Located on the inside of the Bay in front of the Hospital Espanhol (Spanish Hospital). Reef break of right hand waves known for the historical swells and surfed by Bahia's old time surfers. The South Swell is the ideal - above 5 feet.

Reloginho (Small Clock): Next to Espanhol (Spanish), reef break of extensive left hand waves. It's very unusual to find waves here. The South-Southeast swell is the best - big, over 6 feet and glassy.

Farol da Barra (Barra's Lighthouse): n Farol da Barra's (Barra's Lighthouse) small bay, very good and stretched left hand waves. It only breaks in the same conditions as Espanhol.

Barravento (Barrawind) : Constant beach break with peak waves (waves that break forming a rideable wave both left and right), between Farol da Barra (Barra's Lighthouse) and Cristo (Christ), in the outside of Baia de Todos os Santos (All Saint's Bay) and in the North direction. Swell over 4 feet already offers good condition in any direction.

Tonys (Tony's): Good left hand wave with dangerous reef break. East swell from 4 feet already offers a good condition.
Neighborhood: Ondina

Praia da Onda (Wave Beach) : Beach break with rocks spread throughout the spot makes this beach a great choice for beginners, with a fuller tide. 3 feet up of South and Southeast swell forms good waves.

Paciência (Patience) : Narrow bay with regular waves. The very sandy and rocky seabed in this spot makes it hard for good waves to break.

Torrefação (Torrefaction) : Reef break a little distant from the coast. Great right and left hand waves. Good with East and Southeast undulation from 4 feet up.

Quebra-côco (Coconut Break) : Reef break with right and left hand waves. South and Southeast good from 3 feet up. Strong local surfing.

Balaio (Basket Made of Straw) : Extensive left hand waves to the side on the outside of Quebra-côco (Coconut Break). Good from 5 feet up. Strong local surfing.

Pituba : Also known as the Hawaii of Pituba, this right point break used to be stage of very good waves in big swells. However the constancy is low and it's unusual to have good waves today due to the seabed changes.
Neighborhood: Pituba

Cocobeach : In the exit of Rio Vermelho neighborhood it's a left hand wave beach with a mixed seabed that breaks constantly from 2 feet up. However it's not very advisable for surfing, due to the dirtiness that comes from Rio Vermelho. Neighborhood: Pituba
