Arrifana スポットガイド

This cresent shaped, cliff lined bay is probably the region's best known beach and has always been a popular spot for locals, visiting surfers and surf schools. It is one of the only protected spots on this stretch of exposed coastline, so is a good option in bigger swells or unfavourable winds. The undemanding beach works through the tides and is usually buzzing with surfers of all levels, from first timers to local rippers hussling over the mediocre left and right walls. On the northern edge of the bay is the right hand point which peels down the rocky fringe towards the harbour breakwater. It needs to be well over head high to clear the many boulders in the line-up, but once the swell fills in the wave lines up offering long, winding walls for experts only - there are still a couple of huge rocks to clear on the inside. It is a case of the bigger the better here.
