Praia da Cal is a surf spot situated just below the tall cliffs south of the lighthouse hill. This location provides decent shelter from south winds, making it a popular choice for surfers looking for reliable waves. It's known for being one of the most consistent spots in the Torres area, attracting local surfers as well as visitors.

The surf here is quite decent, especially with a south swell, which produces fast, longer right-handers. You can also find some lefts, but the right waves are the main draw. Swell direction from the south is optimal, but it can handle east and south directions well too. The beach breaks over sand, making it a safer option for those who are just starting out or looking to improve. The spot works best with swell sizes around 2 feet (0.6 meters), and it's suitable for all levels, especially beginners. For the best experience, head out during low, mid, or high tide when the waves are riding nicely, and keep an eye on the wind—it’s best with a north-west breeze.

Since this spot can get busy, especially during good conditions, be prepared to share the waves. It's a friendly atmosphere, though, and you can expect surfers of all skill levels to be out here. Whether you’re just starting or looking to catch some faster rides, Praia da Cal offers a mix of good vibes and quality surf.
