Additional Surfing Infos
 During the summer months if there is a good swell, get there early, as the car park fills up pretty quick and you may find yourself parking way up on the road.
  Overview
  Atmosphere The quality of the water is very clear and nice to surf, one problem however is the water temprature..it´s freezing all year round. I just got back from surfing it in mid August and you definatley need a 3/2 steamer summer, winter i´d say all the gear cap, booties, gloves etc otherwise you will freeze before you take your first wave. This beachie doesn´t harbour as many boogie boarders as other local beaches and i hear there are presently 2 good banks there, an inside bank and an outer one for bigger days. There is a good cafe/bar on the beach also which is quite nice for a beer after ... SUPER BOK !!!! A couple of bikinis on the beach to boost the views, and if you are game, a nude hangout spot further down the beach.

Nice, funny and not crowded spot
We started bodyboarding at cordoama, after being talk about it by Dora Gomes, bodyboard world champion, and we found a very beautifull sand beach, not crowded at end August, nice weather...Maybe as well as Praia do Amado, but not so crowded... Good with north-NW wind...Loved Algarve for surf and bodyboard. E&J

cordoama
no inverno kuase nao se surfa aki, pk esta kuase sp gigante, mas de verao e a melhor praia. ja tive dias aki de parecer estar noutro pais (hawi), estava uns tubos... nunka vi nada assim, nem no beliche nem nada, nao ha comparacao. fui o primeiro a surfala, estava um metro mas uns tubos de dois de largura, o tubo era maior k a propia onda. nao dava pra passar a arrebentaçao em frente a onda, tive k passar nas pedras pra poder la chegar. mas o fundo est ano nao esta mt bom. mas esta a dar umas la.

my fav beach
this is me fav beach long right off rocks to your left when u enter beach. this always recieves the biggest part of the swell no matter wat. so always check here first for views on where u want to surf because this will always be the biggest. if its above 2-3 metres try checking ponta ruiva to get a metre high wave and arrifana to get a half metre/metre wave.
