Caldeira Access |
| |
Pretty easy to find. If you head north from the airport in Lajes, it's maybe all of about 5 miles up the road. You're going to turn right at the sign for Caldeira, and wind through the neighborhood until you reach the bluff over looking the break. Getting in the water could prove a bit hairy, but if you time it right, you just need to walk out on the rocks until you can paddle. |

Overview |
| |
Atmosphere |
Couldn't believe the size the place was holding with the varying tides. I spent most of the day there, and it was virtually unchanged. I'm relatively new on the island, but I talked to a couple of guys that were there, and they said that what we were in wasn't even really all that epic for that area....and it was easily 20 ft with the sets....and hollow. Great, uncrowded (and virtually uncharted) waves. |
| |
General |
Need some more experience with the place, but it has the potential to be a classic. |
