Portuguese Surfing Federation. Today, this school has the pleasure of featuring

During holiday periods (Christmas, Carnival,
Easter and Summer), the school organizes “FÉRIAS de SURF”, which takes place every
week from Monday to Friday and is specially organized so that the young ones
can make the most of their free time, practicing sport and enjoying nature
through surfing. “FÉRIAS de SURF” >

PORTO / MATOSINHOS
SURF SPOT
Porto/Matosinhos in North Portugal is an exposed beach and breaks
reasonably consistent any time of the year. Works best in offshore winds from
the east. Waves just as likely from local windswells as from distant
groundswells and the best swell direction is from the west. Waves at the beach
are both lefts and rights. Best around low tide
This beach is a sand bar with frequent sloppy waves. The swell
size starts working at 1 meter and holds up to 2.5 meters. The waves come from
right and left with a normal power.
The summers are pleasant here with water temperatures ranging from
12 degrees to about 19 degrees in the summer and air temperatures ranging from 10
degrees in the winter to 30 degrees in the summer. You can get by with just a
pair of shorts or a shorty through the summer, in the winter months you need to
suit up accordingly.
The beach can be found easily on foot by leaving the metro station and
following the avenue west until you come to the beach. By car you simply follow
the IC24 via Rapida to Matosinhos/Porto or by Avenida da Boavista until the end, and on the roundabout you will see the beach on your rigth.
There is plenty of free parking at this spot.
