Terreiro is a surf spot located on the south coast, known for its consistent waves that attract surfers looking for a decent session. It's a popular choice, often getting crowded due to its reliability, especially when other spots aren’t working. Just be aware that the vibe can get a bit localist since it’s one of the few dependable spots in the area.
This spot features a right-hand wave that's fun for intermediate surfers. It picks up swells from the south and is best with a west swell, handling wave sizes up to around 3ft (about 1 meter). The wave breaks over boulders, so be careful of rocks, especially since they can pop up in the face of the wave depending on the tide. For the best rides, aim for low to mid tide, and try to catch it when the wind is coming from the north-west.
When you're surfing at Terreiro, make sure to wear booties, as the area has some construction debris like broken bottles and rusty nails scattered around. It's not the cleanest environment, so keep that in mind. Enjoy your time out there, and respect the locals!
