Surf Albufeira

Albufeira (The Algarve Gem) - Algarve, Portugal Albufeira features a beach break with both right and left waves, primarily over a reef with sharp rocks and sand. The spot is known for its infrequent but decent waves, reaching approximately 1 meter (3 feet) during the late summer months, particularly when a significant south swell hits. While Albufeira may not boast consistent surf, it offers a unique experience for confident surfers willing to navigate its rocky bottom. The main beach is easily accessible with a short walk from parking, and it works well at all tides, especially during rising tide conditions. The atmosphere is lively in summer with tourists, but it quiets down in winter, making it a pleasant vacation spot. Be prepared for sharp underwater hazards and ensure you have the skills to handle them.
