Fonte da Telha is a laid-back surf spot located near the coastline, known for its long stretch of sandy beach backed by cliffs. The waves here are generally smaller than those at Costa da Caparica, making it a decent choice when the swell gets bigger. You can find plenty of space to explore different peaks, but the sandbanks can be a bit unpredictable. Sometimes the conditions are great, while other times the waves might close out or be too dumpy. It's best to go during mid-tide for the best results.

The surf at Fonte da Telha can handle swells from 0.6 meters (2 ft) up to 3 meters (10 ft), mainly coming from the West, Southwest, and occasionally the Northwest. The beach breaks here can form both left and right waves, making it suitable for different riding styles. It's an easy paddle out when the waves are smaller, but as the size increases, it might become trickier since there are times when channels are not well-defined. This spot is accessible for surfers of all levels, including beginners, intermediates, and experts alike.

When it comes to wind, the best conditions come from the North Northeast, Northeast, and East directions. The preferred tide heights range from low to mid and mid to high, offering a variety of options depending on the day. Surfboards of all types, including shortboards, funboards, longboards, fish, SUPs, and bodyboards can be used here. The prime time for surfing Fonte da Telha is usually from December to February, so that's when you'll want to plan your trips.
