The best known surf spot in north Portugal breaks off a jetty and runs through to the inside as a fast, walled up right that finally dies as a close out over shallow rocks. Plenty of tubing moments with swells of up to 3m+ (10ft).
The busiest spot in the area with the localism attitudes that you would expect. Very polluted.

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.
