Campeche Riozinho

Riozinho is the section of Campeche Beach at the mouth of the Rio Tavares, in the south of Florianópolis, and works as a separate point within the same arc of sand that holds the Pico and Campeche's famous rights. The bottom is very shallow sand and the sandbank forms hollow, barreling waves, perfect for those who like a thrill, mainly with south swell but also working with southeast and east, always with a strong current on the way in and out.

It is a technical spot, respected by bodyboarders and experienced surfers, and not recommended for beginners, since reading the sandbank takes local know-how. On big south swell days, Riozinho connects with the rest of Campeche to form one of the longest and most talked-about rights in Brazil, with stretches of up to 500 meters of running wall. The tip is to go in winter, when south swell meets northwest offshore wind, and always respect the strength of the current before paddling out.
