Alentejo, Portugal

São Torpes

Intermediate Point break Sand bottom Peels right 0.7–2.7 m Any tide

Alentejo's surf beach beside the Sines refinery: warm-water outfall makes it swimmable year-round, and a long right-hand point fires on northwest swell. The unlikely home of a serious Alentejo surf scene.
