Faja Dos Vimes Surf Forecast Guide

Faja Dos Vimes is a left-hand reef that breaks over a rock ledge, and it's the only spot regularly surfed along this stretch of south coast.

When It Works

The reef draws swell from southeast through south to west (SE-S-W), with west (W) swell the best match. It works from 0.9 m / 3 ft to 3 m / 10 ft, and when it lines up it can turn fast and hollow. Consistency is only medium, mainly because west winds tear the surface apart, so it pays to catch it on the right day.

Wind and Tide

It cleans up in a northeast (NE) wind, and really any northerly keeps it offshore. The reef breaks on low and mid tide, with a rising tide the better call.

Local Tips

This one suits intermediate surfers. The lineup stays quiet, since few locals bother to ride it.

Access

Parking is free.
