Arrifana is very popular in the Portuguese surfing community. When the waves are good it is always crowded because of the many Surf Schools and beginners, so it is very important to respect priorities in the water. A crescent-shaped beach protected by a large cliff. This is probably the best known wave of Aljezur. It gets a big swell and is sheltered from all winds except the west wind. When the sea is big the “Arrifana right-hander” is a classic, suited for experienced surfers. At high tide the wave is softer and at low tide, drier and faster.
