Surfing Faja da Caldeira de Santo Cristo

Faja da Caldeira de Santo Cristo is a surf beach in Açores, Portugal.

What level is Faja da Caldeira de Santo Cristo for?

Faja da Caldeira de Santo Cristo has no fixed level, and that is the question Surf Booking answers every day: the same sea suits a beginner and does not suit an advanced surfer, or the other way round. On this page the sea at this beach is read hour by hour and by level — beginner, intermediate and advanced — for the next 7 days, and the verdict is this beach's, not the region's.

What is the bottom like at Faja da Caldeira de Santo Cristo?

The bottom is rock. It calls for extra care and local knowledge, especially at low tide.

When does Faja da Caldeira de Santo Cristo work best?

Faja da Caldeira de Santo Cristo is an exposed beach that picks up much of the Atlantic swell, so it works often through the year. It is usually best with swell from NW-N. The beach faces Northeast.
