BEST TIME OF YEAR TO SURF IN THE PORTUGAL?

Surfing in Portugal offers varied conditions depending on the season, making it suitable for surfers of all levels. Understanding the best times to visit can help you plan an optimal surf trip.

For experienced surfers, the prime season is from September to April, with the largest swells hitting from December to March. During these months, the waves are powerful, ranging from 2 to 4.5 meters (6 to 15 feet), ideal for advanced surfers. Autumn and spring also provide good conditions with slightly warmer weather. Regardless of the season, a wetsuit is necessary due to the Atlantic Ocean's chilly temperatures, which can drop to as low as 10 degrees Celsius in winter. The southern regions of Portugal (Algarve surfing) are notably warmer compared to the central and northern areas.

 

Beginners will find the best conditions during the summer months, from May to September. This period features smaller, more manageable waves and less frequent swells, perfect for those new to surfing.
