Surf spot guide · Beira, Portugal
Powerful, long right-hand point over flat rock for experienced surfers.
High Waves
Large waves up to 2.8m expected at Cabo Mondego. Peak conditions around 6:00 AM.
Exercise extreme caution when entering the water. Strong currents and large waves present. Warning valid until 9:00 PM.
The wave sits on the Buarcos/Mina (Pico da Mina) section of the bay. It is a powerful, long right-hand point breaking over flat rock, with rides that can exceed 500 metres. The wave suits experienced surfers and works with northwest swell, east wind, and rising through high and falling tides. Rock and sand movement in the broader bay can alter the wave shape and sections. Public access involves a 15-30-minute walk followed by a long paddle.
