Cresmina is an exposed beach break at Praia da Cresmina, immediately south of Guincho. It offers lefts and rights over sand with rocky sections, and rides are usually under 50 metres but can reach 150 metres in good conditions. The break is most consistent with West to Northwest swell, East winds, and a mid-tide window. It can work year-round, with the strongest seasonal potential from December to April. Conditions are best suited to intermediate and advanced surfers.
Consistent lefts and rights over sand, best before the Atlantic wind arrives.
