Surf Tropical (posto 1)

Tropical (posto 1) - Barra da Tijuca, Brazil Tropical features a beach break with both right and left waves over a sandy bottom. This spot is easily accessible in the city of Rio, specifically at Posto 1, where a lifeguard station is located. It works well at all tides, with rising and falling tide movements.
