More about Contreiras surfspot

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.

Take the old highway from Porto do Moniz towards São Vicente to access the break.

Beware of rocks in the line-up. Take the old highway from Porto do Moniz towards São Vicente to access the break.
