Praia da Vigia, also known as Praia de Vide, is a captivating surf spot located at the southern end of Praia de São Julião. With a mix of sand and rocks and a reef bottom, this spot offers consistently impressive right-hand waves. The best wind comes from the east, and it thrives in a northwest swell direction, producing powerful waves. Surprisingly, the localism here is relatively low, creating a friendly atmosphere. Accessibility is possible at any tide, whether it's low, mid, or high tide, although the challenging descent via cliffs and the need to navigate a dirt parking area during high tide can help keep the crowds in check. Despite its popularity, Praia da Vigia is a top choice for surfers seeking both great waves and a scenic coastal experience.
