Ok, guys. The first secret spot IŽm going to reveal is a left-reef-break.
Located 20 miles south of Lisbon, it stands
between Praia do Meco and Cabo Espichel, and is named Praia
da Foz.
Althrough good for surf, it is a incredible wave for bodyboard. Breaking over a perfect reef, it provides a "turbo" drop, an amazing fast tube, and ends with a ramp perfect for great airs. Without no noubt, one of the the fastest waves in Portugal. Works with low water / flood-tide. Soon youŽll find here some pictures of this great spot. I call it "mini-Pipeline". HOW TO GET THERE?
Get the N378 road that leads to Sesimbra. A while before turn right
when you see "Alfarim ->". Just keep straight ahead about 10 miles
in west direction and following "Praias ->". A mile before reach
the well know "Praia das Bicas" you find an off-road that will
leed you to "Praia da Foz". When you reach the sea, you won't see
the wave from the road, as you have to go down there and look right. |
