Description
Cabedelo do Douro - Porto, Portugal
Cabedelo do Douro features a sandbar wave that breaks both right and left, with a sandy bottom interspersed with rocks. The wave is known for being hollow, fast, and powerful, particularly at mid tide during rising and falling conditions. Access involves a 15-30 minute walk from the south side of the river, with public access available.
Located at the mouth of the Douro River, this spot is characterized by its challenging conditions, attracting adventurous surfers. While not the most reliable, it can deliver fun rides when the swell aligns. The shifting sandbars and rips require surfers to be adaptable, as conditions can vary daily. East winds are preferred for optimal wave shape, making it essential to check forecasts before heading out. Due to its nature, Cabedelo do Douro is best suited for experienced surfers, so beginners should consider alternative spots.
