general information

Populo is probably the best beach break on the south coast. It's proximity to Porto Delgada means there will often be a crowd. Mostly though tourists in the shore break. The outside peaks are quite steep and can throw up nice powerful barrels. Exposed to any swell east to west means it's almost always got something to hit, except in a dead flat summer spell.
