Parede is a surf spot located in the Lisbon region, known for its right point break. While it's often said to be one of the best waves around, it's not the most consistent. In fact, visitors shouldn't expect too many waves, and if you're not a local or incredibly lucky, you might not catch it at all. Still, when it’s firing, you could experience some solid surf.

This spot comes to life with a good west swell, and can handle swell sizes of around 4ft (about 1.2 meters). The wave breaks over an uneven reef, which adds to the challenge. The preferred wind direction is northeast, and it works best during low tide. The wave is a point break that travels right, making it ideal for those with expert skills. If you’re not at that level, you might want to look elsewhere.

When the conditions come together just right, Parede can deliver world-class waves. Just remember that patience is key, as it's not always going to be pumping. If you're planning to surf here, be prepared for a workout, as the waves can be heavy and demanding.
