MORE INFO, HOW TO GET THERE & FAQ
SURF CONDITIONS
Breaks directly at the main spot and at nearby spots Cabedelo It’s a great an exposed beach/pier break suitable for all levels. Just to the south of Figueira town and is an ex-WCT contest site. This excellent right wedges off the side of a long jetty and results in fast and hollow waves. NW winds are funneled offshore and it works best on a NW swell and incoming tide. Buarcos beach it’s a high quality right-hand point break that holds a decent swell, considered the longest right hander wave of Europe. It produces really long workable walls, with several surf spots along the coast.
Seasonal conditions Both spots can work at any time of the year. Offshore winds blow from the east. Tends to receive a mix of groundswells and wind swells and the optimum swell angle is from the west.
Crowd factor and local people It tends to be a less crowded spot. Specially during the "low season". In the surf spots the locals are friendly. They share the waves.
