Surf
March, May & October are the ideal times for intermediate surfers in the Algarve. With winter swells making their way to our west coast line, our south coast beaches will be picking up fun sized waves. With less of a battle to get out back, you’ll have plenty of energy to catch unbroken waves, build water confidence and start working on controlled turns.
Whilst the rest of Europe slips into winter, the Algarve maintains a comfortable 24 degrees daily! With the water heating up all summer, now is the time to enjoy surfing in shorties or 3/2 mm wetsuits. The beaches are empty and so are the line ups, please don't tell the world about our secret summer month!
