Contreiras surf guide

Surf: Also known as Bruxas (which means 'Witches' in Portuguese), this left point often breaks below sealevel and has caused many injuries. Medium sized, due N swells will rear into hollow tube sections over the shallow reef. Requires exacting swell direction and usually looks deceptively easy to ride from shore. Directions: Take the old highway from Porto do Moniz towards São Vicente to access the break. Environment: Beware of rocks in the line-up. Take the old highway from Porto do Moniz towards São Vicente to access the break.
