More about Praia do Sul surfspot
General: Furnas, in its sheltered corner, can often be the only place working in a big N or NW swell. There's a right hander that breaks out off the headland, but only wakes at a serious size, when it can produce long, rolling, double overhead walls. A powerful wave breaking in deep water. In smaller conditions there are a few peaks along the beach - but not a high quality spot. Tides: All tides Size: Waist to double overhead plus. Wind: E, SE Swell: N, NW Bottom: Beach with reef and rocks. Paddling: Easy when small, heavier in big swells. Spot Rating: Big, long, ripable walls, stretch and wrap into the bay here on rare days. This is a fickle right point that can be well worth the long paddle and heavy hold downs. There are also mediocre peaks inside the bay that are worth checking in medium swells out of the north.
Ok for all levels - Furnas best left to advanced.
Car park at southern end of beach.
December - February
Crowd Factor: Beach usually pretty quiet, especially if other spots working. Point will have a crowd when it's on. Local Vibe: OK
Not great.
Heavy when big, rocks on inside.
