Surfers catch a wave at Arpoador beach in Rio de Janeiro
Surfers catch a wave at Arpoador beach in Rio de Janeiro April 24, 2008. Fall temperatures have ranged into the mid-80s Fahrenheit (about 30 degrees Celsius) though heavy seas, scattered thunderstorms and some rain have kept down the normally large crowds to Rio's famous beaches. Surfers have been the exception, attracted to the coastal shores by large waves. REUTERS/Sergio Moraes (BRAZIL)
