Carrapateira

Very beautiful wild place, with full exposure to the atlantic. Can get big.

Atmosphere:
Is getting crowded at the point, but if you walk up the beach you'll be surfing on your own.

Additional Info:
This spot is a big long exposed beach, with two 'main' surfing areas. The southern end has a sort-of point break off the rocks which then lines up more or less well depending on the sand bars. This works at low to mid tide on most swells. The second area is about 200m up the beach with a-frame peaks on good days breaking on sand bars on mid-high tide.
