Contendas surf guide

Surf: Short sucky peak that goes dry on the rights and runs left back into the southern corner. Outside righthand point breaks big and mushy, filtering the swell before reforming on the inside reef. Low incoming best forming barrels on the peak. Works on a big SW, SE or E swell because it halves in size as it refracts and reforms into the bay. Shapes up perfectly with 4-6ft S groundswell 12sec or more wave period and SW to NW wind. Closes out easily. Environment: Sometimes crowded as it will be offshore in SW or even the S winds that drive the best swell direction.
