Road Map / how to come:
Head from Cumbuco approx. 7 km in direction Fortaleza to Icarai and turn left in front of a small hill before entering the centre and you will arrive at the Barrachas.
Is located on the way from Cumbuco to Fortaleza and is well-known for the very stunning wave conditions which you can find in front of the Barrachas. The swell runs clean directly to the beach, where you can find up to two meters waves already some hundreds meters outside. The best conditions are during low tide or between ebb and tide. The wind is blowing side shore from the right or slightly side onshore. The setting up of your material is not possible in front of the Barrachas as there is no in front. The best starting point is western between the Lagoa Tabuba and the beginning of Icarai village.
