HYDROGRAPHIC REFRACTION, TAKEOFF & EXIT CHANNEL PROFILE
Beach & Reef Bottom ProfileDinamica dell'Onda (Fondale Sabbioso (Beach Break)): I treni di maretta a lungo periodo (10s+) subiscono un'immediata rifrazione a contatto con la piattaforma vulcanica sottomarina, concentrando 45 kJ di energia sulla sezione di takeoff srotolando in modo pulito. Il canale adiacente drena l'acqua senza risucchiare i surfisti nella zona d'impatto.
1. REGOLA D'ORO PER ENTRARE E USCIRE
Walk straight in and out on soft black sand next to the Seixal harbor jetty. When the open North Coast is huge (2.5m+), the breakwater filters the swell into clean 0.8m–1.2m waves inside the bay.
Alta Marea Massima: {tide}m: 1.90m•Bassa Marea Minima: {tide}m: 0.40m
2. PERICOLI PARTICOLARI DELLO SPOT
- •Punchy shorebreak right on the sand during the top 30 minutes of spring high tide
- •Respect designated swimmer and surf-school zones in summer
