Located in South Algarve, Praia da Bordeira is an excellent beach break that offers both a long left next to a cliff and barreling waves closer to shore. The waves here can be tricky to surf and break for up to 100 meters over a sand bottom. The left works at lower tides and the beach break gets good at mid to high tides.
What are the best surf conditions for Praia da Bordeira?
Gets good between waist-high and double overhead. We recommend riding a longboard here when smaller or a shortboard when the size picks up. This break is suitable for all levels of surfer. The surf here usually has a wave (5/10) and while the left can get crowded the beach break usually has enough peaks to spread people out (7/10). The best winds are from the East. The best swells are from the North, Northwest, Southwest, and West. Works on all tides.
