Praia de Závora is an up-and-coming surf spot located on the coast, known for its chill vibe. This spot offers some protection from the wind due to the jutting reef and point, making it a decent choice for surfers looking to escape the busier areas nearby. It’s quieter than Tofo, so if you're looking for a less crowded experience, this might be the place for you.

The surf here works best with a southeast swell and can handle sizes starting from around 2ft (0.6 meters). You can catch waves breaking over sand, and there are also some coral reef outcrops. Both left and right waves are available, which makes it fun for everyone. For the best experience, aim to surf during low to mid tide when the conditions are more forgiving, making it perfect for beginners.

It’s worth noting that the typical wind direction that works well here is from the southwest. So, keep an eye on the forecast to pick the best days. Overall, Praia de Závora offers a relaxed surfing environment that caters well to those just starting out and looking for an easy-going surf session.
