Ladeira is a less-traveled beachbreak that faces southwest, making it a unique spot for surfers looking for something a bit off the beaten path. It doesn't get super crowded since it doesn’t break that often, giving you the chance to enjoy some waves in a quieter setting. This spot can be surfed year-round, and you'll often find yourself sharing the waves with just a few other surfers.

This beachbreak works best with northwest swells but can also pick up southwest swells. It’s a spot that handles swell sizes around 3 feet (about 0.9 meters) well, making it ideal for experienced surfers who are comfortable with the conditions. The waves can break both left and right over the sandy bottom, which is nice for mixing it up a bit. The best time to surf here is during low tide, especially when the winds are coming from the northeast.

Since it’s a spot for experts, make sure you’re ready for some challenging conditions when the waves are up. Whether you’re looking for a mellow session or something a bit more intense, Ladeira can deliver as long as the swell is right. Overall, it's a pretty chill and scenic spot, perfect for those looking to escape the busier beaches.
