Carrapateira is a surf beach in Aljezur, Portugal.
Carrapateira has no fixed level, and that is the question Surf Booking answers every day: the same sea suits a beginner and does not suit an advanced surfer, or the other way round. On this page the sea at this beach is read hour by hour and by level — beginner, intermediate and advanced — for the next 7 days, and the verdict is this beach's, not the region's.
The bottom is sand. It is the most forgiving bottom for learning and for wipeouts, though the sandbanks shift through the year.
Carrapateira is an exposed beach that picks up much of the Atlantic swell, so it works often through the year. It is usually best with swell from NW-W. The beach faces West.
