Located between the iconic surf spots Coxos and Cave, Crazy Left is exactly as its name implies—a wild and thrilling left-hand wave that offers hollow and fast barrels for experienced surfers. Positioned along the southern part of Baía dos Dois Irmãos, this point break is both unpredictable and exhilarating, making it a coveted destination for those seeking adrenaline-fueled rides.

The wave at Crazy Left thrives under specific conditions: mild winds from the east (SE to NE) and a solid northwest swell. However, its proximity to the channel near Coxos means the outgoing current can often disrupt the wave quality. For the best experience, surf Crazy Left during higher tides when it is at its peak performance. The spot’s exposure to the typical northern winds adds to its inconsistency, but when everything aligns, the waves here live up to their legendary reputation.

Getting to Crazy Left
The easiest way to access Crazy Left is by parking near Coxos and paddling out from Baía dos Dois Irmãos. While there is a small parking area available, it can fill up quickly, especially during peak surf seasons.

Things to Keep in Mind

• Skill Level: Crazy Left is strictly for experienced surfers due to its fast, hollow barrels and steep takeoffs.
