Character

01

Monte Clérigo is defined by bay-shaped left + right beach peaks over sand with rock-framed sections. The shape can change with swell angle, period and the active section, so the live score should always be paired with a visual check from shore.

Best setup

02

W–NW swell, e–se offshore and moving mid tide · bank dependent form the profile baseline. SWELLRADAR treats 0.5–2.1 m as a working range, not a guarantee of breaking-wave size.

03

Match the active peak to your ability and leave space for other surfers in the water. Pay particular attention to rip currents, rock margins, shorebreak. Local signs and advice always take priority.
