Located right at the bottom of the Alentejo coast, Zambujeria do Mar is a small seaside town that offers a relaxed vibe for surfers. The beach features a left wedge break off the cliffs at its southern end, which can be a fun option for those looking to catch some waves. The spot is generally quiet, with few crowds except for some free-campers enjoying the area.

The surf here is best at low to mid tide and tends to favour an optimal swell direction coming from the Northwest. It can handle swell sizes starting from about 2ft (0.6 meters) and is workable with SouthWest and North swell directions as well. The waves break over sand and can offer both left and right rides, making it suitable for intermediate surfers looking for a little variety in their sessions. Wind from the east is preferable, so checking the forecast before you head out is a good idea.

While Zambujeria do Mar is a bit below average in terms of consistent surf, it provides a good option for those looking to escape the crowds and enjoy some peaceful time on the water. Keep in mind that the conditions can change quickly, so always stay tuned to the surf reports.
