The Pororoca is a natural phenomenon produced twice a year between the months of February and March, the meeting of currents of the Amazon River with the Atlantic Ocean. The phenomenon of tides, to raise the level of ocean water, causes them to invade the mouths of rivers, which can buckling up to tens of meters wide, with up to three to five feet tall, and speeds up to fifty kilometers per hour.
The name "Pororoca"comes from the Tupi language means "big noise". It's the wave can be heard approximately 30 minutes before his arrival, and is so powerful it can destroy anything, including trees, houses and anything else you find to do.
The wave has become popular with surfers since 1999 have created an annual championship held in São Domingos do Capim.

The record for the longest distance ridden on the longest wave is the Picuruta Salazar in 2003, managed to stay for 37 minutes at 12.5 km. The dream of every surfer, riding a wave without end.
