Surfing in Portugal
In this part, we make sure you don´t miss a good swell! First, have a look at our surf & camp guide, which summarises the best beaches for surfing.
Surf Forecast: You can get an idea about the wave size and energy at the most relevant beaches in Portugal by consulting wave forecast websites. Firstly, www.surf-forecast.com provides a visually and easy to understand overview about waves of all beaches. Secondly, Windy provides more detailed weather data, which may be interesting for advanced surfers!
Surf safety rules for very beginners:
- Better do not surf totally alone, in the beaches that you do not know, when the waves are big.
