Level: Intermediate, Expert

Type: Ocean

Water type: Small wave, Medium wave

Water hazards: Currents

Water quality: Clean

Infos: Big waves in winter from 0-2.5m, in summer some as well. Swell comes from W-SW. Dangerous powerful water flow depending on the time of the day.

Beach type & size: Sand - Tidal

Infos: Nice sand, large area for kite landing in winter with low tide. Be careful with road proximity. Watch for the fortress as well.

Wind specificities: Only in winter with W to S winds. Onshore winds from 10-30 knots (depends on the clouds coming). In summer no surfing because of offshore strong and instable gusts.

Best months: January, February, March, November, December

Access description: by Car - Go from Lisbon to Carcavelos by `marginal` road, always by the river/sea. Arriving to Carcavelos you'll see the big beach with a big dirt car parking lot on the opposite side of the road. Go to that parking and go surf. There is a bar called Windsurf Cafe where every rider meets.

Specific rules: Time

Extra: Kite spot only in winter (not allowed on summer from June to August). Watch out for the rocks at the beach edges! And be careful with strong onshore winds so that you won't go flying to the road with your kite.

Accommodations: Toilet, Food, Parking
