Quarteira is located in Albufeira on the south coast, so it only works when there is either a really big NW swell, or on a south swell. When it's on though, it has a fun little right point break and some A-frame peaks down its sandy stretch of beach. If you're trying to surf every spot in the Algarve, it's worth the drive. If you just want some fun waves though, if there are waves here there are probably good waves closer to the west coast.
