Surf Experience - Country Lagos, Portugal

Surf Experience - Country Lagos, Portugal

Portugal is a popular destination for every level of surfer; if you are looking to experience a unique European surf in the sun all year long then this should be your first choice. It offers world class surf that matches that of any where in the world and with a wonderful culture to match.


Wave size and quality range from average to epic, with an assortment of reefs and beach breaks. The beauty of this corner of the world is due to the variety of its waves, which will suit everyone's standards, and their constancy throughout the year - good waves break year round. Waves break both on the Southern and Western coasts, always providing a surfing alternative according to the swell and within a maximum thirty minute drive. The surf itself is surrounded by wide and breathtaking scenery, with steep reddish cliffs, wide sandy beaches and no real estate developments or seaside resorts in sight. The whole area is protected and forms part of the natural park. The access to the beaches is by dirt tracks twisting through a spectacular scenery.
