Praia das Moitas Surf Spot Details: Your Complete Surf Guide & Travel Planner
Praia das Moitas, also known as Praia da Rata located between Cascais and Estoril in the charming Monte Estoril, offers a fun and less crowded right-hand point break. Unlike the world-renowned waves of nearby Guincho, Moitas provides a more relaxed surfing experience, perfect for those seeking a less hectic session.
The wave at Moitas typically breaks off a jetty, offering a consistent right-hander with multiple sections. While not as powerful as some of the other spots on the Lisbon coast, Moitas provides enjoyable waves, especially for boards with more volume.
This spot is particularly good when the west coast is maxed out, making it a viable option when other popular spots are too challenging. While best suited for swells from the west and with North (northeast) winds, Moitas can offer fun waves even in less ideal conditions.
Plan your surf trip to Praia das Moitas and discover a hidden gem in the Monte Estoril area. Enjoy a more relaxed and enjoyable surf session at this charming beach. Check out our Lisbon Surf Trip Guide for all the details!
