Tips if you are going to do Surfing in Portugal

Portugal has recently emerged as one of the most popular surfing locations in Europe. This country attracts more people every year because of its lovely beaches, perfect for relaxing and exciting water activities, especially surfing. This exhilarating water sport can be enjoyed during different seasons and in various locations because the weather conditions are ideal. Portugal boasts beautiful beaches and coastal enclaves for surfing, whether you've done it before or not before, and the Atlantic Ocean provides terrific waves for a pleasant surfing experience!
1. Where are the top surfing spots in Portugal?

In the north of Portugal, you will find some of the best waves in the village of Ericeira, just before breaking against the rocks. The northern canyon in the Nazaré area, close off the coast in the country's centre, is another must-see. In addition, many consider Carcavelos, adjacent to the capital, to be the birthplace of surfing in Portugal. Amado is also a lovely area to go surfing because of the constant swell. Surfing is also available at Tonel, near Sagres, Porto de Mós in Lagos, and Praia da Rocha in Portimão and also across the Algarve. The beachfront village of Figueira da Foz is ideal for those seeking a more tranquil and less well-known location.
2. What equipment will I use for surfing?

Nothing beats a good surfboard to catch the best waves. Depending on the design, we can find different types and models of boards that will adapt to the tastes and needs of each surfer: longboards, shortboards, tow-in boards, funboards, fish, evolutionary or gun. These will be made up of fins and an anti-slip or grip. You will also need a leash to hold on to the board to prevent it from slipping away in the waves. Many surfers use paraffin wax to wax the surfboards before going into the water. In many cases, you will also need a wetsuit to protect you from the cold and even a hat, neoprene gloves or booties for your feet.
3. What are the different forms of surfing?

Different forms of surfing can be enjoyed on the same beach in Portugal! Windsurfing is one of the most well-known variations, which involves attaching a sail to a traditional surfboard and gliding across the Atlantic. Kitesurfing, on the other hand, is a popular sport in which you attach a kite to your board and attempt pirouettes and acrobatics. Paddle surfing, also known as stand up paddle, involves standing on the board and paddling to keep moving. You can also attempt bodysurfing, which involves leaving the board behind and donning flippers to catch the waves. For skimboarding, you'll have to stay on the shore to catch a run and jump on a small board.
4. What do you need to surf?

The best part about surfing is that you don't need any prior knowledge because you can always start from scratch in one of the many classes around the coast. It also doesn't matter how old you are; anyone, regardless of skill level, can participate in this water activity. It's a good spot to learn about the thrilling world of surfing or enhance your skills if you already know how to surf due to the wide variety of beaches and waves. Furthermore, no external licence is required, and you can rent equipment, practise on your own, or enrol in a class or course to enhance your surfing technique.
5. How long are the surf lessons?

You can select your surf lessons based on your skill level and lesson duration. They are usually 1.5 to 2 hours per day to ensure that you have ample time. You can learn the theory on the sand and then get into the water to put what you've learned into practice. You will have the option of extending the sessions across several days to get a more comprehensive surfing lesson. After that, you can rent the equipment for as long as you wish to practise on your own.
When should you go surfing in Portugal?

You can find some areas in Portugal with pretty solid and consistent waves throughout the year. However, depending on your skill level, some months will be more convenient than others. If you have surfing experience and want to visit Portugal, the best months to visit are November to February, when the wind is more favourable for the sport and the waves are better. The months of April to September are perfect for beginners to learn to surf since the surge is less severe, and it is much easier to begin practising.
