surfing in Portugal |
| |
Due to it's geographical position, Portugal is blessed with some seriously sweet swells throughout most of the year, You can drive up the coast along 600km+ of open beachbreake and concealed bays. The whole coast is teaming with unknown spots begging to be found. You don't even have to go very far from famous/crowded beaches to find yourself alone with possibly an even better wave than 20-40 people are fighting for five minutes down the road. All you need in portugal is a car and a little spirit and you'll be rewarded. The best swells come in late winter early spring.
