THE BEST SPOT FOR SURFING ON ALGARVE
Arrifana
Is a great fun wave to surf at any level of skill, it offers a crescent shaped wave and the right hand wave is excellent on a large swell.
The location is really nice and the area is great to hang out along the wild western sagres & Vicentina coast. The beach can be crowded on a good day of swell, which is to be expected, but the beach offers a lot on all conditions.
With high tide the wave can go a little soft but on a lower tide it speeds up and can be a great little ripper of a wave.
Amado
Offers a lot of variety on many different wave conditions. It has great right and left running waves so offers waves for both goofy and regular footed surfers.
Tides do not effect waves and it can be surfed generally all year round, being one of the most consistent in the Algarve as it is open to all Atlantic swells, while still being sheltered by the north west winds.
Castelejo
This very isolated beach, 12km north of Sagres, offers beautiful views and very consistent swells all year round as it is west facing.
With Castelejo being so west facing it can be effected by westerly winds. During summer months Castelejo can catch any small Atlantic swells making it a great beach to learn how to surf in the summer sun.
In the autumn it lights up and can offer world class waves if the winds play ball and the sandbars have had time to reset after the winter storms. Multiple sandbars ensures you can catch waves along the whole beach.
Beliche
A small sheltered beach north of Sagres, Beliche beach offers a great peak wave with the right swell.
The large cliffs make this a spectacular beach to surf. The best months to surf Beliche are before and after the main summer months.
A treat of a wave and beach to surf for the intermediate to advanced surfer when its working.
Tunel
Is within walking distance of Sagres town centre and is a great beach to surf for beginners to intermediates. The waves are consistent but varied. It provides waves all year round and in winter months can get very swells hitting it which can be spectacular.
It is sheltered from the north wind and has some great right and left handers to offer all along the beach.
It is easy to access and is one of the most beautiful surf beaches in the Algarve when the conditions are good.
Zavial
East of the town of Sagres, is one of the best known southern Portuguese waves. it can be fast and hollow and gets offshore winds a lot of the time so can make even smaller swells stand up.
The beach is not as exposed to west winds but does get good swells wrapping around and hitting it. Its a clean hollow wave when it gets good swell and on small swells is great for beginners and intermediates.
On top of all that it is also a great beach just to chill out at and have a relaxing swim when the waves are not breaking on it.
