Wind on the beach

cross-offshore

What the spot record warns about

reef sections offshoreoffshore component to the wind means riders can be blown out to sea if they can't self-rescue
Cross-offshore to offshore wind can push riders away from the beach and toward open water if they cannot stay upwind.
Gustier wind near shore because the NE/NNE wind passes over land and the town before reaching the beach.
Very shallow sections at low tide; avoid jumping or hard landings in shallow water.
Currents may develop around Ilheu de Sal Rei on larger tide swings.
