About Tabuba

Choppy waves, but excellent ramps build up at some points. Size up to 2m possible. Nice beach break as well. At weekends don't ride right in front of the barraca, due to many swimmers. Downwind it is empty. Excellent conditions with swell and low tide, a good wave about 200m away from the beach breaks in front of Barraca O Costa. Easy pushing waves, great for wave beginners.
