Excellent quality rivermouth left only breaks on the biggest swells of the year. It's fast, hollow and shallow and doesn't hold above about 8 ft. Low tide only.
Crowded when on. Foz has an active surfing population, plus the beaches and carparks get packed in summer. Good beach facilities, shops and bars with campsites fairly nearby. Some estuarine pollution from the Ria Foz.

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.
