Description

Praia da Rocha - Portimão Praia da Rocha features a beach break with both right and left waves over a sandy bottom. The spot is ideal when the west coast of Sagres reaches around 1.8 meters, offering fun and ordinary power waves. It works best at mid tide during rising and falling tides, with optimal conditions from south to southeast winds. Located in Portimão, this long sandy beach is a vibrant hub for surfers and bodyboarders alike. While it can get crowded, especially near the breakwater, there’s ample space to find your own wave. Parking is available but can fill up quickly on good surf days. Respect the local vibe, and you’ll enjoy a welcoming atmosphere. With consistent waves and a lively beach scene, Praia da Rocha is a solid alternative when Sagres gets too big, making it a must-visit for surfers looking for variety.
