About Guarajuba

Flat and choppy water with some waves at the outside reef. Waves are not so good for surfing but always can be used as a good ramp to take off except at low tide when it gets very shallow and a little dangerous. Best at low tide if you prefer flat water and at high tide if you prefer the waves. About 15 minutes walk there is a very good right hand surf spot called Scar Reef.
