Portugal Surfing Info and Details
Portugal picks up all the north, west and south swells from the Atlantic, making surf conditions very consistent. During winter the swell size is around the 6ft mark but can get to 15ft or more, making it a spot for those looking for challenging surf. There is surf throughout the summer months and you can expect waves of 3-5ft.

The best time to visit the Algarve (southern Portugal) is in Autumn and Winter where constant powerful swells can be expected. The best time to visit the West Coast is in Autumn.
