About this spot
Shark Bay on Sal Island is a dedicated wave riding spot that benefits from strong, consistent trade winds. It offers a great entry point for riders looking to progress in waves without the extreme intensity of Ponta Preta.
The spot is best suited for intermediate to advanced riders who can handle cross-onshore conditions. Despite the name, it is a standard kiting location where the wind and swell provide excellent training ground for directional boards.
