Praia da Bafureira Surf Spot Details: Your Complete Surf Guide & Travel Planner
Praia da Bafureira, located in the same bay as Bico in São Pedro do Estoril, offers a fun and fast point break that works well for both shortboarders and surfers looking for a more dynamic wave. Known for its right-hander, which is typically the better of the two, Bafureira is a favorite spot for many surfers along the Estoril coast.
The wave is faster and shorter than its neighbor Bico, and works best around mid-tide. While you can surf it on lower tides, caution is needed due to exposed rocks, especially at the left. With bigger swells, the wave can hold up to 2.5 meters, but always be mindful of rising tides and the potential for backwash with higher tides.
To reach this break, head to Praia de São Pedro do Estoril, where Bafureira is located on the bay’s east side.
Best Surf Season: October to March. Like most spots in this area, summer typically brings flat conditions.
