Surf Carrapateira

Carrapateira (Praia da Bordeira) - Algarve, Portugal Carrapateira features a beach break with left-hand waves, characterized by a sandy bottom interspersed with rocks. This spot is known for its powerful and hollow waves, working best at low to mid tide with rising and falling tides. The area is accessible via a short walk from the village of Carrapateira. The expansive Praia da Bordeira offers solid surf conditions amidst stunning natural beauty. While the left side can become crowded, the spacious beach allows surfers to find their own peaks. The surrounding cliffs enhance the scenic atmosphere, making it a laid-back spot for a surf session. However, be mindful of wind conditions, as the beach can be easily blown out; east winds are preferable. With manageable crowds during the week, Carrapateira is a prime destination for surfers seeking both solitude and quality waves.
