Monte Cl\u00e9rigo is a a vast sandy\/river beach in the portuguese region of Algarve. The beach stretches north-south direction and has northwest orientation.<\/p>\n

Description of Monte Cl\u00e9rigo<\/h3>\n

Its northwest orientation makes it a relatively reliable spot, and can have surf during all year.<\/strong> Big winter swells can make it become big, but being a very exposed beach break they can also make it very messy and not surfable.<\/p>\n

Expect some waves coming around mid tide. Best swells get into this beach if they come northwest.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

In the southernmost part of this beach there’s a small reef that gets exposed during low tide. Usually the waves break in the very center of the beach (however it may change if sand banks move during winter, so better double check for youself).<\/p>\n

Even though Monte Cl\u00e9rigo almost always offers good surf (also when there are no waves in other spots around) it is known to have not crowds.<\/p>\n
