This spot is a big long exposed beach, with two 'main' surfing areas. The southern end has a sort-of point break off the rocks which then lines up more or less well depending on the sand bars. This works at low to mid tide on most swells. The second area is about 200m up the beach with a-frame peaks on good days breaking on sand bars on mid-high tide.
Overview
Atmosphere
Is getting crowded at the point, but if you walk up the beach you'll be surfing on your own.
General
Very beautiful wild place, with full exposure to the atlantic. Can get big.
Nice little peelers
Classy little waves this weekend...shame about the english tossers who think they own the place..leave what is in portugal to the portuguese! If you wanna surf here, try showing some respect instead of paddling around everyone like you're rob ma-fucking-chado in cali! And don't bother dissing other people's surfing level if you can't even take off on your backhand. Word

good but heavy
I really liked this wave. There's a nice rip taking you out and it's not too hard to stay in the line up. It's not too crowded but the wave is quite harsh.
