Additional Surfing Infos |
| | type of waves depends on wind, swell, tide. varies from beachbreak closeouts to pointlike peelers. just have to pay attention to the conditions. at high tide, use rip along inside left side along rocks to get out fast. accesses a nice peeling right with inside barreling reforms.

Overview |
| |
Atmosphere |
On good days is crowded specially if it's a weekend day, a decent option when thereºs swell because of itºs proximity to the city (10 min. from center). heavy pollution. outlet pipes right on the beach = highly sketchy health risks. floaties...yuck |
| |
General |
only surf it if you have to, or when the conditions are good enough to outweigh the pollution problem. |

Good session in matosinhos waves between 1m/1.5m no wind and it was a hot day, not croweded.
The only problem is the polutttion many seagulls and the waves are not constant you can have a perfect right or left in one set and on the next
