About the spot

Fonte da Telha is a long Atlantic beach below a prominent cliff line. Northerly winds can run along the beach, while wind crossing land and cliffs may be gusty and offshore. The spot offers waves and chop, not a sheltered lagoon.

Independent sessions require reliable upwind ability and surf experience. The beach's length does not guarantee a clear launch: swimmers, watersports activity and the changing surf zone determine actual usability. First sessions should take place on suitable days with local supervision.

Access & local notes

Check the permitted launch and swimming zones locally. Keep clear of the cliff base and do not exploit an offshore gap in beach activity; plan a safe return as the tide changes.
