Ponta Preta is Sal's most famous wave spot, renowned globally for its powerful, clean right-hand point break. This is a high-performance venue that frequently hosts major international wave kite and surf competitions. The spot requires a solid swell to work and is strictly for advanced riders due to the proximity of the reef and the power of the waves. When conditions align, it offers world-class down-the-line riding.
