Praia do Zavial Kitefoil Forecast

Praia do Zavial scores 89/100 for kitefoil today at its best ability level (expert). The beach faces S. A cliff-backed Atlantic beach about 400 m. A sand-over-reef right-hand point break at the western end barrels heavily over rocks; the rest of the bay is a sandy beach break with lefts and rights. Exposed, suited to intermediate/advanced surfers, with dangerous rip currents. Lifeguards are posted June-September (Blue Flag certified). The point works best dropping to low tide; the beach break favours mid tide, while low tide dumps heavily and can close out.
