Carriagem
Edit SpotAbout
very dangerous, but a challenge to great surfers. Look for a 10-15 ft day with off-shore winds and you'll find one of the best waves in Europe.
Atmosphere:
You can explore all this area near Rogil and Aljezur, there are many great surf spots and beautifull beaches.
Additional Info:
very good waves most of the year. It can get +5m sometimes in winter and around 3m in the biggest swells in the summer. When the wind is off-shore, the waves get perfect and powerfull, but beware of the big rocks, search for the best place to surf. When it gets big, can turn very dangerous, and even in small swells, it's just recomended for experienced surfers.
