Surf spot guide · Lisbon, Portugal
Cabo Raso is a rocky Lisbon surf spot offering powerful, challenging waves for experienced surfers.
Cabo Raso is a reef break located just west of Cascais, known for its exposed position and consistent Atlantic swells. Waves here are powerful and often fast, breaking over a rocky bottom with both left and right peaks. The surf is best on a rising or high tide with southwest swells, but strong currents and submerged rocks require caution. The spot is not recommended for beginners due to its challenging conditions and hazards. Access is straightforward but the exposed setting can make entry tricky on big days. Crowds are moderate, with more surfers during weekends and good swell windows.
