Surf spot guide · Lisbon, Portugal
Variable beach-break peaks with lefts, rights, rocks, and occasional fast hollow sections.
Adraga is a sand-bottom beach break influenced by rocks and reef, with several surfable peaks across the bay. It produces both lefts and rights, while aligned sandbanks can form an A-frame and a consistent left is often found. Wave quality ranges from manageable fun surf to fast, hollow, powerful and ledgy sections. Westerly to west-northwesterly swells and easterly to southeasterly winds are preferred, with a rising tide generally favored. The spot can work year-round, while April through September is commonly considered the best season.
