Shipwreck surf guide

Surf: Palmeirinhas hosts Shipwreck that picks up a lot swell but is also very exposed to the wind. This tubular spot needs to be hit early as it gets blown out by 10 am. Drive to a more sheltered spot if the swell exceeds 6ft. Environment: The sunken freighter is now gone so finding it can be guesswork without a guide.
