7. Surf Spots
Supertubos:
For many, the best waves in Portugal and one of the best in Europe. A world class spot, and stage for WCT events! Fast and tubular wave, that breaks perfectly on a sand bank. It works best with SW swells and N, NE or NW winds. Amazing barrels, and perfect for aerial maneuvers.
Molhe Leste:
Fast and tubular. Right handed break, next to a pier on a sand bottom. It needs a lot of swell to work. Best with N or NW winds and SW swells. Ideal for intermediate and advance surfers.
Lagido:
Left hand reef break. It is long, breaking on a coral reef. Extremely manoeuvrable wave. Best with S, SW and SE wind and north swells. It is ideal for intermediate and advance surfers.
The Bay:
Waves for all kinds of surfers. Dozens of breaks, you just have to choose the one you like the most! Works best with NW winds and NW swells in Cantinho (just next to our surfschool), or with S, SW or SE winds and N or NW swells in the middle of the bay. Ideal for all levels of surfers.
Almagreira:
A long extension of beach to the north of Lagido. Several surf spots and it works when the waves are smaller in Baleal. It is a left and a right break with a sand bottom. Best with S or SE winds and northern swells. Ideal for all levels of surfers.
Belgas:
Next to Almagreira, just up north. No crowd, and several breaks. Best with S and SE winds and N swells. Ideal for all levels of surfers.
Consolação:
Rock bottom wave. Excellent right hander, for intermediate and advance surfers. Best with NW winds and S and SW swells.
