Surf Girl – July 2019

130 SurfGirl Magazine

A country boasting year-round

sunshine, a gentle culture, a relaxed

vibe and wonderful seafood. Plus,

with over a thousand miles of

coast there are plenty of surf spots

in Portugal to choose from, from

beginner-friendly beaches to the

biggest rideable waves in the world.

Portugal

WHEN TO GO: All-year round

really, but autumn to spring is peak

swell season.

AIRPORT: Porto (OPO) for the

north, Lisbon (LIS) for the middle,

Faro (FAO) for the Algarve

LANGUAGE: Portuguese.

RUBBER: It’s colder in Portugal

than France due to lack of Gulf

Stream action so take a 5mm in

winter and a 3mm in summer.

ESSENTIALS: Sun cream, wetsuit

boots for the reef areas.

E AT: Pastel de Nata (an authentic

Portuguese custard tart)
