Holly ground for experienced and professional surfers, Cave is often compared to Australia’s Shark Island and it’s easy to understand why!
A right-hand reef break comes out of deep water before hitting an extremely shallow reef ledge, creating double up waves as thick as hollow, before going dry on the end section. It dishes out some of the biggest spitting barrels in Portugal as well as some of the worst wipe-outs.

The name says it all: it comes from the left and… it’s crazy! Located on the south side of the Bay of Coxos, is a very different wave: shorter and a left-hander with a few sections for big turns as well as some deep tubes. It works best on higher tide whilst Coxos is better on low tides, which is great!
The wave is not easy and the spot can become very crowded on epic days. If you aren’t an experienced surfer, it’s probably better to choose another spot.
