Poor conditions right now. Small 1.1ft waves with quality 10s ground swell but strong 16kt winds making it choppy Note: winds from SE would be better. Might want to wait for better conditions.

πŸ“ Local Knowledge

Ribeira Grande on Ilha de SΓ£o Miguel in the Azores is a fairly exposed beach break that offers consistent surf year-round. It works best with north to north-northwest swells and offshore winds from the southeast, picking up a mix of local windswells and longer-period groundswells. The beach produces both lefts and rights and is rarely crowded, even when conditions are good. The best month to surf Ribeira Grande is February, when winter swells and offshore winds most reliably combine for clean, rideable waves.
