Located in Beira Litoral, Portugal, Cabedelo is a quality jetty break that offers up a long, barreling, right-hand wave. The waves here can be challenging and heavy, breaking for up to 200 meters over a sand bottom. Rips and pollution can be a problem at this ex-WCT venue.
What are the best surf conditions for Cabedelo?
Gets good between waist-high and double overhead. We recommend riding a longboard here when smaller and a shortboard or a step-up as the size increases. This break is suitable for intermediate and advanced surfers. The surf here sometimes has a wave (4/10) and will get quite crowded (8/10). The best winds are from the Northeast. The best swells are from the Northwest, South, Southwest, and West. Works on a low to mid-tide best.
We recommend wearing a 3/2 in the summer when water temperatures rise to 18 degrees. In the winter a 4/3 is best when water temps drop to 13 degrees. See the temperature chart below for more data on this.
