Faja da Areia (Chickens) - Sao Vicente Faja da Areia features a point break with both right and left waves, breaking over flat rocks. The spot is known for its ordinary power and works best at low and mid tide, particularly with rising and falling tides. Access is straightforward, with instant access to the surf after a short walk. Located on the southwest side of the island, Faja da Areia attracts a mix of surfers, especially beginners and intermediates, drawn by its relatively low risk. However, caution is advised as the waves can be larger than they appear. The surf can be accessed by carefully jumping off the rocks, but returning can be challenging due to strong surges. Since the construction of the breakwater in 2003, wave quality has been inconsistent, requiring significant swells for optimal conditions. The spot is best enjoyed during autumn and winter, but expect crowds on weekends.
