Carcavelos, Cascais, Portugal
Carcavelos Beach is located on the Cascais coastline, just a few minutes from Lisbon, and is one of the most iconic surf spots in Portugal. Fully exposed to the Atlantic, it consistently receives west and northwest swells throughout the winter, making it a true benchmark for the best swells hitting the Portuguese coast.
The impredictable power of Carcavelos
It is a beach break with dynamic sandbanks that shift throughout the season, directly influencing the shape of the waves. On classic days, with a well-aligned swell, solid period, and a north offshore wind, Carcavelos turns into a stage for fast, powerful, and often tubular waves. Both rights and lefts break with force, demanding sharp reading, precise timing, and full commitment from the take-off.
It is an intense, often heavy wave, where the proximity of the breaking section to the beach amplifies the sense of speed and pressure. When everything comes together, Carcavelos reveals its purest side — an unpredictable, challenging wave capable of delivering deep, memorable barrels.
