Spots here

Beach break · Arrifana

Arrifana

A cliff-ringed bay near Aljezur, partly protected by a headland and an offshore rock stack. That shelter makes it one of the more forgiving spots on an otherwise heavy stretch of the west coast.

IntermediatesAutumn to spring; workable much of the year

Beach break · Arrifana

Monte Clérigo

A north-west-facing beach below a small hamlet near Aljezur, with sand to the north, rocks to the south and a stream that shapes the banks. Few surfers even on good days, and wind is the main thing to watch.

IntermediatesAutumn to spring

Rivermouth · Arrifana

Praia da Amoreira

A river-mouth beach break below the cliffs near Aljezur, where the Ribeira de Aljezur meets the sea. Fickle, with strong currents at the mouth. Best on a west to south-west swell with an east wind.
