Praia do Tamariz Surf Guide

Praia do Tamariz in Lisbon is a quite exposed reef/Jetty break that does not work very often with no particular seasonal pattern. The best wind direction is from the north. Waves just as likely from local windswells as from distant groundswells and the ideal swell angle is from the southwest. Both left and right reef breaks. Best around high tide. It very rarely gets crowded here. Submerged rocks are a hazard.
