Quatro Ribeiras Spot Guide

North coast focal point with choice of powerful, challenging set-ups. Lefts break off deepwater cliffs, wall up and speed across bay before closing out on boulder beach. Right-hander to the east is a bit mellower, but still very powerful. Needs to be overhead to start breaking.

Currents, sharks and jellyfish. Very difficult to get out of the water, especially after mid-tide. Experts only so rarely crowded.
