Fortaleza Iracema

Fortaleza, CE, Brazil
🪸Sharp reef⚠️Shallow

Fortaleza Iracema is an urban reef break in Ceará's capital, offering hollow, powerful waves over a flat rock shelf. The wave can be fast and punchy when NE swells arrive, and the city setting means easy access to food, lodging, and nightlife. Booties are recommended due to the sharp reef.
