São Pedro do Moel surf guide

São Pedro do Moel is a noteworthy surf spot located along a stretch of nearly untouched coastline, which runs 80km from Figueira da Foz to Nazaré. The area features long, open beaches mixed with a few headlands and coves, making it an interesting place to explore. The beach here is well-known among surfers, primarily for its consistent and exposed beach break.

The surf at São Pedro do Moel is often pretty decent, especially when the swell comes from the west. It handles swell sizes starting from about 2ft (0.6m) and can accommodate swells coming from the southwest or north. The waves tend to break over sandy bottoms, and you can expect both left and right breaks. For those looking to catch some waves, the preferred wind direction is east, and you can surf during low, mid, or even high tide, which makes it a versatile spot for different circumstances. This beach is also beginner-friendly, so it's a good place for new surfers to get some practice in.

There’s plenty of opportunity for free camping in the nearby forest, so if you’re looking for a spot to spend the night after surfing, you shouldn’t run into any issues. It can be a chill place to relax, enjoy nature, and get ready for another day on the waves.
