About the spot

Furadouro is an Atlantic wave spot near Ovar. Sandy areas vary along a coast shaped by defences and surf. Independent sessions require reliable upwind riding, controlled launches and wave experience.

This coastline is affected by erosion. An older spot description may therefore suggest more space than is available on arrival. Water level, remaining sand and clearance from rocks need assessing together. There is no documented sheltered flat-water area or beginner launch that can be assumed usable at all times.

Access & local notes

Check that a sufficiently wide, permitted sandy section exists on the day. Do not launch between coastal defence rocks. Choose another spot at high water or with heavy shorebreak.
