Hazards

Small bay between Sagres and Lagos with a punchy right reef at the east end. One of the best south-coast waves on a SW swell.

Arrifana

Sheltered bay south of Aljezur with a high-quality right-hand point on the north side. The Algarve's most reliable winter wave.

Point · Intermediate

Beliche

Sheltered beach beneath cliffs just east of Cabo de São Vicente. Quality lefts and rights when it's too small or too windy elsewhere.

Beach · Intermediate

Castelejo

Cliff-bound beach just north of Cordoama with hollow, fast peaks. Picks up huge swell and shouldn't be underestimated.

Beach · Advanced

Cordoama

Powerful beach below dramatic cliffs north of Sagres. Heavy peaks when the swell is up — for confident surfers only.
