Praia Castelejo is a remote and beautiful beach, perfect for surfers looking for a less crowded spot. It's known for having different options for your ride, making it a flexible choice. The surf here is typically better in autumn than in spring, as the winter storms can wash away the sandbars that help create good waves. Be prepared for it to be quite windy, so check the nearby coastline for some alternatives if it's too rough.

This spot is best for surfers at all levels, especially beginners. The optimal swell direction is Northwest, but you can also catch waves coming from the SouthWest and North. Praia Castelejo handles swell sizes pretty well, from around 2ft (0.6 meters) up to whatever you’ve got. The waves break over sand, and you’ll find both left and right breaks here. It's best to surf during low to mid or high tides, and the ideal wind comes from the East.

When you're planning to hit the waves, remember that this beach can gather a lot of swell, so pay attention to the conditions. The surf can change quickly, so it’s always good to keep an eye on the forecasts. Whether you want to paddle out for a chill session or work on your skills, Praia Castelejo can offer a decent experience.
