Ponta do Queimado is a surf spot located on the island's isolated end, offering a unique experience for those willing to check it out. It's not the most consistent beach around, so don’t expect to have epic surf every day. Due to its location and conditions, it tends to be a spot for those who are a bit more adventurous or desperate for waves when other spots are flat.

This spot can handle swell sizes around 4ft (about 1.2 meters), with the optimal swell direction coming from the Northwest. You’ll find lefts breaking at the south end and rights at the north end, but the overall quality can be pretty sketchy. The waves mainly break over an uneven reef, which can make things tricky. The best conditions usually come with a Southeast wind, and it can work during low, mid, and high tides. It's worth mentioning that you should be an intermediate surfer to tackle this spot comfortably because of the rippy and sometimes challenging conditions.

Keep in mind that Ponta do Queimado is pretty exposed, so you’ll want to check the forecast closely before heading out. It can be a fun challenge for those looking to explore the less traveled surfing locations on the island, but it might not be the go-to spot for consistent waves.
