Local Knowledge
Praia de Altura is an exposed beach break in The Algarve that has unreliable surf and is typically flat in summer, featuring both left and right-hand waves. The most favorable conditions are a Southeast swell from windswells or groundswells combined with offshore winds from the North-Northwest. The break works best around mid tide when the tide is falling. The spot is sometimes crowded. The best time for consistent, clean waves is typically in August.
