the
waters are calmer on the two far sides of the beach,
close to leme beach and arpoador, and get
rougher in the middle by posto 4.
at the very end, on the
ipanemaside near posto 6, surfers
often enjoy light waves, especially
during the winter.
the width of the beach is variable, with its
greater width between
posto 3 and
posto 4,
this is the part of the beach that tends to get more crowded during
the summer months.
