Surfing Ingrina
A reef break in Sagres & Lagos, Portugal, for intermediate and advanced surfers.
Ingrina is a small bay on the south coast between Sagres and Salema, right next to Zavial. It has a reef on the western side and a sandy middle, with a beach café above.
It needs a south-west or west swell and a north wind, so it mostly works in winter and is often flat the rest of the year. When Zavial is running, Ingrina usually is too, with fewer people.
The reef is rocky, so watch your feet at lower tides.
The café above the beach is a nice place to wait for the tide, and Sagres is about fifteen minutes west.
