Surfing in Figueira da Foz

The two surfing breaks in Figueira da Foz are Cabadelo and Buarcos. Cabadelo is situated South of Figueira da Foz across the mouth of the River Mondego. You can cross the bridge either by taxi or bus (buses run every half hour on weekdays and the fare is €0.85), if you have your own transport there is plenty of parking at Cabadelo. Buarcos can be reached by foot, just walk along Figueira da Foz's main beach to the end. If you'd prefer to use transport, buses run from the station to Buarcos every half hour on weekdays and hourly on weekends, expect to pay around €0.85 for the fare. There is parking at Buarcos, but be warned- it gets very busy in the height of the season!

Cabadelo

A breakwater with sandbars found at the mouth of the River Mondego, that has been host to the WQS, national and local surfing competitions. The best conditions to surf Cabadelo are in medium swells, the break is off-shore in Easterly winds. The break works on all states of the tide.

Buarcos

A less well-known but equally as good as Cabadelo in the right conditions. It works best on mid to low tides. This is a right-hand, sand covered rocky point break and there can be strong rips when the swell is big, so only attempt to surf this break if you're experienced.
