A general guide to surfing at San Miguel - Baixa de Viola can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu.

Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for San Miguel - Baixa de Viola may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself.
