Praia da Amoreira is a beautiful river beach and surf spot located in the region of Algarve, Portugal. Is located less than a kilometer in straight line north from its neighbour beach Monte Cl\u00e9rigo<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It stretches north-south direction, and is known for its strong waves and consistent surf all year, making it a popular destination for surfers and bodyboarders.<\/p>\n

Description of the spot<\/h3>\n

Amoreira can have surf all year round if there are swells coming in. <\/strong>Since it is a beach break, peaks usually appear everywhere, depending on how the sandbanks move. As well, since the river can bring out more sand when it rains, there are usually stable peaks a couple hundred meters in front of the river mouth. When Amoreiras is working and is a bit big, there might be some currents and you may have to go full power on paddling and duck diving since the sets do not give you a rest till you reach the outside.<\/p>\n

Best swells for Amoreira are west and northwest, and can have surf during any tides: the lowest the tide the most far away the waves will break. However, since it is a very open beach, it can come too messy when the swells get a bit too strong. During low tide some rocks and reefs may get exposed, be careful.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

As we said, Praia da Amoreira is a river beach, and it offers a long and beautiful sandy area with dunes that enters inland for hundreds of meters following the riveira of Aljezur.<\/em> May be worth checking it you fancy a long walk along the sand.<\/p>\n
