Everything you need to know about surfing at Carrapateira, Portugal

Carrapateira is a charming, whitewashed Algarvian village located just 20 minutes north of Sagres, the region’s surf capital. Surrounded by the stunning Costa Vicentina natural park, Carrapateira is an ideal destination for surfers looking to ride the beefy Atlantic walls. The town is home to two main surf beaches - Praia do Amado to the south and Bordeira to the north, both of which offer fantastic surf opportunities. The waves here are heavy and fun, and are best surfed during the peak season from December to February, when the waves are waist high to overhead. However, the conditions here can be challenging in winter. Despite the heavy waves, the beachbreak is more sheltered than the beaches to the north, making it a popular choice for traveling surfers. The large car park at the northern end of the bay makes access easy. With its stunning beaches, energetic vibe, and fantastic surf opportunities, Carrapateira is a must-visit destination for surfers of all abilities.
