Açores, near the southern end of the island past Pântano do Sul, breaks almost every day on south to southeast swell, best with no wind or a light northwest. The sandbanks move daily, so the quality depends as much on the sand as on the swell. South wind makes it bumpy and north wind drops the size fast. On small days it suits beginners; on bigger days it is for everyone, with weekend crowds and some localism.
