The regional classic wave breaks regularly, making the spot excellent for experienced surfers. If you lack experience, there are many local schools that will help you hone your skills, in order to enjoy these hollow, fast and powerful waves.

The reef-rocky waves have excellent left direction and the bottom is full of flat rocks. Normal and good day wave length is short, reaching only up to 50 m/164 ft. This doesn’t mean that the spot is not good, as it rocks especially with left handed waves. Mid and high tides work perfectly in this place.

The swell starts at less than 1 m/3 ft and holds up to 2+ m/6+ ft. The beach hosts only few surfers during the week, leaving the spot almost entirely for you!!! Localism is a danger that you should not overlook lightly.

In general, you need to pay attention, as the spot is not appropriate to those who don’t know how to handle their board. Malhadinha is a place that guarantees enjoyable surfing, one of the best water sports.
