Limipicos is a right-hand reef break at the northern end of Foz do Lizandro, distinct from Lage dos Tubos. The wave takes off beside a rocky ledge and peels over a flat stone reef into the bay. Usual rides are under 50 metres, with good-day waves reaching roughly 50-150 metres. It favours west to northwest swells and mid-to-high tides, while the exposed reef does not work at low tide. The break can suit capable improvers on smaller days, but the long, tricky paddle and difficult exits demand solid surf ability.
