Surf spot guide · Lisbon, Portugal
Adraga is a scenic beach break near Sintra offering consistent waves and stunning cliff backdrops.
Adraga is a picturesque beach break located on Portugal's Lisbon coast, backed by dramatic cliffs and natural beauty. The spot offers both lefts and rights, with waves best during medium to large swells from the Atlantic. Swell consistency is good year-round, but autumn and winter bring the most reliable surf. The beach is exposed to strong currents, especially during bigger swells and lower tides. Local surfers frequent the spot, but it remains less crowded than nearby Praia Grande. Facilities are limited, and access involves a short walk down from the parking area.
