Buccaneers Beach

Buccaneers Beach is located on Cape Verde's northeastern coast facing the Atlantic Ocean, characterized as a beach break with moderate wave exposure. The spot sits in the trade wind belt but experiences inconsistent wind patterns with only 33.8% reliability, making it better suited for extended trips rather than day sessions. Average conditions include 10.8 knots of wind and 1.41-meter waves in a warm water environment averaging 25.6°C. The northeast-facing orientation provides best conditions with northwesterly winds (315°) that run side-shore along the coastline. Water depth varies with shallow areas near shore, requiring careful navigation during entry and exit. This spot works best for intermediate riders seeking tropical conditions and willing to work around unreliable wind windows. Local knowledge of tide cycles and seasonal wind patterns is valuable. The relatively low wind reliability means success depends heavily on timing visits to match favorable weather windows. Facilities and local infrastructure should be verified before traveling.
