SURF TRAINING SCHOOL PRESENTATION
  The Surf Training School is a sports body, recognized by the Portuguese Surfing Federation, which is dedicated to teaching the practice of this sport. It is located at Edificio Transparente, where the beach provides excellent conditions for surfers to begin and improve their skills and also benefits from the proximity to Parque da Cidade.
   The school was founded in 2006 by three long-term surfers and friends and its team is composed by responsible and dedicated teachers, who are duly accredited by the Portuguese Surfing Federation. Today, this school has the pleasure of featuring top-level athletes, who compete at various regional and professional championships natiowide throughout the year.
  The Surf Training School provides surfing lessons every week for families, friends, tourists, schools (within physical education activities), university students, companies and gyms, through protocols, for students of all ages, from 6 to 60 years-old! The school also organizes birthday parties and has already participated in several events, namely in partnership with Câmara Municipal do Porto, such as the 2nd Youth Meeting in Porto held on May 28th.
  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” > Summer 2014 will begin now in June 2014.
  The SURF TRAINING SCHOOL is open all year long, every day, so don’t waste your time and come and try the pleasure of a surfing lesson.


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.


 Today, Porto/Matosinhos is geared towards tourism and its beach is regularly used throughout the year by surfers of all types and abilities. The beach is medium sized and sandy with lots of space. 
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.
