Boa Vista, Cape Verde · 16.1775, -22.9200
Best wind
Cross-shore wind; riders used roughly 3 m and 4 m wings in the reported sessions
Season
Completed trip; exact dates and recurring season not stated
Water
Cross-shore reef wave about one mile offshore, with large channels on both sides
Experience
Mixed-ability group reported, but exact launch and rescue suitability require local confirmation
Hazards
One-mile offshore reach, reef, cross-shore wind, channel and recovery exposure, plus undisclosed launch and exit. Mixed abilities in the report do not establish independent beginner suitability.
Parking & access
Arrange the exact launch, reef line and return plan with a current Sal Rei operator or local rider; no public lot or beach name is published.
“A Progression Project forum completed-trip report from Boa Vista/Sal Rei describes a cross-shore reef break about one mile from the launch, with large channels on both sides and wave riding by a mixed-ability group. The exact beach and reef name are not disclosed, so this is stored as a broad Sal Rei-area reference rather than merged into another Boa Vista spot.”
