Big waves in winter from 0-2.5m, in summer some as well. Swell comes from W-SW. Dangerous powerful water flow depending on the time of the day. Nice sand, large area for kite landing in winter with low tide. Be careful with road proximity. Watch for the fortress as well. Only in winter with W to S winds. Onshore winds from 10-30 knots (depends on the clouds coming). In summer no surfing because of offshore strong and instable gusts. Winter very cold, rainy, windy. The best kite spot in winter (better than Guincho). Full wetsuit necessary. Can surf in all seasons. Water: Smallwave, Mediumwave. Features: Toilet, Food, Parking. Rider ability: Intermediate, Expert.
