Bafureira surf guide

Bafureira is a low tide point break located right next to Bica. It's a bit shorter and generally doesn't catch as much swell compared to nearby spots. The waves here are best when the swell comes from the SouthWest, but you can also ride it with swells from the South or NorthWest. With its uneven reef, the spot can offer some fun conditions if everything aligns.

This surf spot is known to handle swell sizes around 2 feet (about 0.6 meters), making it most suitable for intermediate surfers. The waves tend to break to the right, which can be enjoyable for those looking for long rides. For the best experience, aim to surf during low tide when the waves can be more manageable. Northeast winds are preferred here, helping to clean up the bumps on the water.

Bafureira tends to be quite consistent, so there’s a good chance you’ll find waves here most days. It can get a bit crowded at times, especially when conditions are favorable, but it's typically not too hectic compared to other surf spots. Just keep in mind that it might not be the best choice during all swell sizes and directions.
