Praia do Gonzaga

Praia do Gonzaga is an S-facing beach break in Santos, São Paulo, Brazil. It picks up swell from SE to SSW, and land, islands, reefs or shallow banks block about 67% of the directions it faces. Offshore wind here blows from the N: light winds or N breezes usually mean the cleanest surf, while S onshores chop it up.
