## Spots in Cabo Verde

- [Praia do Chaves](https://yosurf.app/spot/praia-do-chaves): Boa Vista; Beach break; levels beginner, intermediate, advanced; Sandbank wave breaking both right and left, suitable for all levels (beginner to intermediate). North swell, southeast offshore wind, on a 5km beach on Boa Vista's west coast.
- [English Reef](https://yosurf.app/spot/english-reef): Boa Vista; Reef break; levels beginner, intermediate, advanced; A submerged reef about 2km off Boa Vista. Heavy, punchy waves (up to 6m), ridden almost exclusively with a sail, kite or wing because the wind blows so hard across the face — experts only, boat access.
- [Praia Cabral](https://yosurf.app/spot/praia-cabral): Boa Vista; Reef break; levels beginner, intermediate, advanced; Just north of Sal Rei harbour, Boa Vista. A reef in the centre of the beach that picks up plenty of NW swell: a fairly long left and a shorter right that closes out fast on the shallow reef.
- [Alibaba](https://yosurf.app/spot/alibaba): Sal; Reef right; levels beginner, intermediate, advanced; Deeper in the bay, north of Ponta Preta on Sal's west coast. A powerful right that walls up along a rocky point, sheltered from the NE trades by the cliffs close by.
- [Curral Joul](https://yosurf.app/spot/curral-joul): Sal; Reef right; levels beginner, intermediate, advanced; On the exposed headland at the north end of Baía de Joaquim Petinha, Sal's west coast. Handles as much swell as you can throw at it, but the rocky line-up is hard to read — experts only.
- [Ponta do Sino](https://yosurf.app/spot/ponta-do-sino): Sal; Beach break; levels beginner, intermediate, advanced; A sand-and-reef point at Sal's southern tip, usually bigger than Santa Maria but often blown out. When swell wraps well around the island, the waves peel parallel to the beach.
- [Santa Maria](https://yosurf.app/spot/santa-maria-sal): Sal; Beach break; levels beginner, intermediate, advanced; An 8km beach at Sal's southern tip. Mostly mellow beach breaks around the old wooden pier, plus a few lefts on a nearby reef — it catches the rare SW swells and summer NE swells.
- [Fragata](https://yosurf.app/spot/fragata): Sal; Beach break; levels beginner, intermediate, advanced; An east-facing beach on Sal, which needs the NE trades to drop to deliver good surprises. Rarely surfed — and sharks have been reported here.
