Parede
Edit SpotAbout
Considering how many people surf in carcavelos and how few surf here it's great. You usually get a small group of surfers here, but as long as you don't be a macho fuck you'll be ok.
Atmosphere:
this place is pretty sheltered so forget about surfing here unless a huge swell hits. Expect North wind throught most of the winter, so chances are if it's working it's bound to be offshore. Most of the swell received by portugal comes between the East and the West which wouldn't seem very appropriate but if it's get insane (and it does) you can usually come here and take a smaller and cleaner dose.
