Praia da Tofo
A beautiful Sunday morning today lasted about an hour when an amazingly strong onshore squall hit hard. Local fishermen were out early but were literally blown back to shore. Our back door was blown completely off its rails and smashed – 30 secs after this pic was taken! The rain is pelting down now causing a complete whiteout. I can just see the shorebreak 20 metres in front of the house…!
The scene of the time two local fishermen saved the life of a local kid caught in a high tide surge. The previous article carries the story… This pic shows how much sand was taken away over a week of onshore winds reaching 35 knots or more some days. The locals have had to move their boats onto the main beach as their last launch spot in the corner is just bare rocks now. After the storm…the fishing was excellent. Many couta, amberjack and tuna.
