Back to Lisbon

After a 50 minute deay, with no comunication from TAP I got my flight to Lisbon.  Managed to get 2 dinners- just as well beacuse breakfast looked a bit limp.  Slept for a large part of the flight which was good as it did not go to slowly.

Picked up hire car in Lisbon.  Then afterwards grabbed board and had a chat with the guy at the flat.  Cruised the Lisbon coastline- waves were massive, and I am not talking about the exposed spots here.  The swell was 6 metres which is unprecedented almost.  Looked at Monte Estoril (below), but access looked tricky and waves were massive.

Ended up settling for Santa Armao, a rocky point that is normally flat.  Got out the back easily, caught no waves and got out because of the pollution.  Water smelt like drain.  There were good waves, howver it was more challenging than I first thought.  Most the inside waves crash on the rock.
