Terceira - Contendas

Located on the Azores' Terceira Island, Contendas is a left-breaking reef point break with fairly consistent waves. The best conditions occur during autumn and winter, fueled by north-facing groundswells. Ideal west-northwest winds create clean surf, though the cold 16.2°C water requires a wetsuit. Suited for intermediate surfers, this spot remains uncrowded even on good days.
