Today's score by level (at the day's best, out of 100)
Chic Alentejo beach with peaceful waves. A large sandy beach break with lefts and rights, relatively uncrowded. Best on a NW swell. Perfect for a relaxed surf session away from the Lisboa crowds.
Autumn is the queen season. Winter brings the big sessions, spring stays very quality.
Ideal for starting out or longboarding. Mellow waves, little current, surf school usually nearby.
Easy beach access, parking usually nearby. Ask locally about seasonal currents.
Wear an appropriate wetsuit. Scout the currents before you paddle out. Respect the locals and right-of-way. Check weather and tides.
Comporta is rather accessible to beginners when the waves stay small and the wind is light. Still, check currents, tide and local guidelines before entering.
The ideal wind at Comporta comes broadly from West: it's offshore, which helps shape and hold the waves. A strong onshore wind generally degrades conditions.
Around Comporta, you can also check conditions at Fonte da Telha, Praia do Norte Caparica, Costa da Caparica. Compare the scores, wind and swell direction before choosing where to surf.
