Common questions
Is Arrifana good for beginners?
On the beach break in the middle of the bay, yes, and surf schools run lessons there. The right-hander at the north end, along the cliff and rocks, is for experienced surfers.
When does Arrifana work?
A north-western swell with a north-east or east wind. The cliffs shelter the bay from the north wind, so it is often clean when the open beaches of the west coast are blown out.
Where is Arrifana?
On the west coast of the Algarve near Aljezur, in a cliff-backed bay inside the Costa Vicentina natural park.
Where do you park for Arrifana?
At the top of the cliff by the village, or on the steep road down to the beach, where space is limited; on busy days park at the top and walk down.
