Shore Break Expresso Escorpiao - Copacabana, Brazil
Shore Break Expresso Escorpiao features powerful, hollow right-hand reef waves breaking over sharp coral and rocks. Located at the edge of a military base, access is challenging, requiring a short swim from either Copacabana or Diabo Beach. The spot works best at low to mid tide with rising and falling tides, and is known for its heavy barrels.
This spot is notorious for its dangerous conditions, attracting only a few skilled surfers due to localism and pollution concerns. While the atmosphere can be thrilling, it’s essential to respect the local bodyboarders who frequent the area. Expect a mix of few surfers during the week and a crowded scene on weekends. The unique location offers a chance to experience the vibrant culture of Rio, but caution is advised due to the potential for encounters with military personnel and the challenging wave conditions.
