Cabedelo do douro

Edit Spot
About

iºm into interesting surfing environments and this is an interesting place to surf when there are waves. offers a great view back at the city. shoots manoots.

Oct 2006 by wanna: the wave is not rated anymore cause we don't know if it works anymore.

Atmosphere:
can get epic with the right conditions with barreling lines. highly marginal water quality, borderline disgusting though.

Additional Info:
ight or left depending on the swell, tide and sand on the bar. often peels flawlessly along the side of a well formed spit of sand shaped by the river outflow. big river=big rips, be prepared to paddle hard. you can always get out and walk back up the sand and jump in at the top.
