Foz do Arelho

Located where the river meets the ocean, Foz do Arelho is a beach break that works best with west-facing swells and southeast winds. The waves are beginner-friendly but inconsistent, requiring the right conditions to form. Mid-tide is ideal for surfing, and the water stays cold year-round, making a wetsuit essential. While not crowded often, the spot can get busy when the surf is good. The mix of groundswells and windswells creates varied but unpredictable conditions.
