Faja Dos Vimes Surf Report & Forecast

Local Knowledge

Fajã dos Vimes on Ilha de São Jorge in the Azores is an exposed reef break that offers rideable surf when swell energy is present, typically working best with north and northwest swells and offshore winds from the south or southeast, which help clean up the faces. The bottom is primarily rocky reef, shaping fairly defined peaks but also creating hazards, so surfers should take care. The break can work across most tide levels and generally stays uncrowded even on good days. The best month to surf Fajã dos Vimes is January.
