Atmosphere

On good days is crowded specially if it's a weekend day, a decent option when thereºs swell because of itºs proximity to the city (10 min. from center). heavy pollution. outlet pipes right on the beach = highly sketchy health risks. floaties...yuck

General

only surf it if you have to, or when the conditions are good enough to outweigh the pollution problem.

Surf store in Porto - Guys,

In two weeks, im going to porto to surf there.
I ve never been there before, so it would be my first time surfing in porto.
I actually come from Indonesia and now studying in Holland, so i did not bring all of my surfing gears to Holland. Since there is no wave in Holland.
I wonder if there is a surf store which rent a surfing board. Otherwise i can only watch people surfing over there.

Thanks guyss..i hope you give me a nice info.
Cheers,
