More about Praia Azul surfspot

A quiet and very consistent beach break of high quality with some wind shelter. At the northern end of the bay is a slab reef with hollow, but fickle lefts and a more regular right. Mid-tide is best.

General: One of the most consistent beaches in the area, this long stretch of sand is home to a number of sandbars and a couple of sand covered reefs. At the northen end of the bay is a righthand reef. Best in small to medium swells. Tides: Beach all tides, reef mid tide. Size: Waist to head high. Wind: SE, E Swell: NW to SW Bottom: Sand with reef. Paddling: Fine when small, can be hard paddle out when bigger. Spot Rating: A consistent and flexible beachbreak with some fun, walling lefts and rights - plus a right hand reef at the northern end.

Good for all abilities.

Beach front parking and a cliff top car park.

Best June to November.

Crowd Factor: Popular but a long beach with plenty of peaks. Local Vibe: Mostly chilled with some humility and respect.

Water quality is marred by agricultural run-off.

OK but can suffer from agricultural run-off from the river.

Heavy and rippy when big.
