Luz is a surf spot located in a scenic area, known for its semi-sheltered conditions. It has a sand bar that can produce some fun waves, primarily favoring right-handers. While it might not be the most celebrated surf destination in Portugal, it does have its moments.

The best surf here happens with a north-west swell, but it can also handle south-west and north swells. You can expect decent waves that work well when the swell size is around 2 to 3 feet (0.6 to 0.9 meters). The waves break over an uneven reef and sand, which adds a bit of variety to what you can ride. The preferred conditions are when the winds are coming from the southeast and during high tide. Although the waves are not top-tier, they can still offer a decent session on the right day.

For those looking to mix their surf sessions with a bit of exploration, Luz has a relaxed vibe that makes it easy to enjoy the setting. Just keep in mind that while the spot can be fun, it won't always satisfy the pickiest of surfers.
