Ponta
das Canas is a legendary wave that wakes
up few times a year. When a really big
east swell hits the island with light
south winds there is a possibility for
it to break a right-hander great for
multiple maneuvers. It breaks near the
rocks. To get there make local inquiry
close to Canasvieiras.
