While many of us restrict our surfing activity to the web variety, there is a whole world of people who take to the ocean for the unique experience of riding the waves. While still hanging on to its somewhat rebel image, surfing has grown hugely in popularity as an activity. The combination of adrenaline, fitness, closeness with nature, tranquility and action has proven addictive to many. Within Europe, Portugal is widely considered the absolute best surf destination with the best natural surf coastline.
Although you won’t find too many monster waves here, facing the magnificent Atlantic and its powerful winds, and with fabulous weather all year round, the Algarve coastline offers a range of surfing experiences to accommodate all levels of expertise. With a western and southern coastline, there is always a swell somewhere, so down-time is generally not an issue.
