About This Spot
Trafaria Kitebeach is located on a protected bay south of Lisbon, Portugal, characterized by a crescent-shaped sandy beach with an adjacent shallow lagoon. The spot consists of a wider bay with moderate protection from Atlantic swells. The coastline faces northeast toward deeper water, with a sandy beach fronting urban residential areas. Visible moored vessels and the active pier indicate this is a mixed-use water zone. The shallow lagoon and enclosed nature of the bay provide relatively calm conditions, making this suitable for beginners and intermediate riders seeking protected water. Best wind conditions occur from the northwest (315°), providing side-shore conditions parallel to the beach. The low average wind reliability (2%) and modest wave height (1.05m) suggest this location is better suited for flat-water progression and light-wind sessions rather than wave riding. Kiters should exercise caution around boat traffic, the developed infrastructure visible on shore, and the shallow lagoon areas. This spot works best during summer months when thermal winds are more consistent.
Hazards & Safety
Moored boats and anchored vessels offshore
Pier/jetty structures extending into water
Shallow areas in lagoon section
Urban density creating wind shadow effects
Potential boat traffic in designated channels
