Just to the south of Figueira town and an ex-WCT contest site. This excellent right wedges off the side of a long jetty and results in fast and hollow waves. NW winds are funnelled offshore and it works best on a NW swell and incoming tide.
There are pollution issues from the river, rips can aid getting out by the jetty and there are plenty of takers. Camping, surf shop, and surf school nearby.

This graph shows the percentage of days that had a ridable wind swell (7 seconds period or more) or groundswell (10 seconds period or more) of over 3ft. It also shows the dominant wind direction. Not all of these days will neccessarily give great surf, and very short lived wind swells or longer period secondary swells may produce surf not recorded, but it gives a clear idea of the seasonal trend and a rough guide to the chances of scoring something ridable.
