Ecolodge is a surf spot located at Praia Jale, known for its laid-back vibe and accessibility via a new road. This area features beach bungalows situated right in front of a rocky left-hander that catches the swell. The waves often come in with onshore winds, which can affect surf quality. The west coast of this spot has potential for long left waves, although exploring the various rivermouths and rocky coves can be tricky due to difficult access.

The surf here mainly works with south and southwest swells, handling sizes at around 2 ft (0.6 m). The waves break over uneven reefs, mainly producing lefts. If you're planning to catch the best surf, aim for low to mid or high tides and pay attention to the wind, as northeast winds provide the best conditions. This spot is best suited for expert surfers, considering the rocky terrain and the nature of the waves.

While you're at Ecolodge, take note of the surrounding areas. The potential for exploring uncrowded waves exists, but again, access can be tough. If you’re looking for a quieter surf experience with chances to challenge your skills, Ecolodge might just be a good bet.
