This beach has the right conditions for surfing. It’s suitable for professionals or kamikaze surfers. It’s a rocky reef with world class waves, with left direction. It’s one of the few ones lefts in Ā Ericeira.
For the swell, the best direction is the west and for the wind, the east direction. The waves are really fast and hollow. The high tide is the only best tide position. You must be careful and surf only when the tide is full of rising.

In winter, the wind blows offshore at 12% and the waves swell size on good days, is from 2-3 m (6.5-10 ft) and at 7% of the time is >3 m (>10 ft).
