Cave
Edit SpotAbout
This wave works in similar conditions to Reef, so when Reef is fully working you can check out Cave, because is working for sure.
Cave is also called Sete Bafos that means Seven Spits, because the wave is allways throwing huge spray spits from the hollow barrels.
Cave - Sete Bafos is one of the heaviest waves in Ericeira, the Portuguese Bodyboarding magazine finds this spot so insane that they said if someone was going to surf there to notify them, so they can do a full article on the magazine.
