Overview

Praia do Rodanho is the southern section of Cabedelo beach in Viana do Castelo, about 500m south of the Duotone Pro Center. Here the prevailing NW winds are more onshore and the area picks up more swell than the sheltered northern end. Good for intermediate wave riders wanting more action than the flat area behind the pier. Sandy bottom, clean breaks.
