Surf spot guide · Lisbon, Portugal
Very occasional urban jetty wave beside the Jamor River mouth, requiring large swell and mid tide.
Cruz Quebrada is a short, sloppy breakwater wave at Praia da Cruz Quebrada beside the Jamor River mouth. It breaks over sand mixed with rock and works only occasionally. The spot needs approximately 3-3.5 metres of swell and is best around mid tide. Buoys and other man-made obstacles are present in the water, and the beach is unguarded. Historical pollution has affected the beach, while current water quality is unconfirmed.
Sandbanks that reshape themselves with every swell, demanding fresh reads.
