Historical data

Location guide

Cortegaca in Portugal is a visually stunning surfing hotspot. With its azure waters, spacious sandy beaches and charming local villages, this locale provides surfers with a one-of-a-kind experience. The beach at Cortegaca is unique due to its southwestern vantage point and natural wall of dunes, which allow surfers to experiment with their skills. The waves here can be sizable, especially during the winter season. They roll in smoothly, making it an ideal place for experienced surfers looking for the thrill of height and speed. During the summer, the waves are generally smaller, creating an inviting environment for novice surfers. Surfing conditions here can be quite dynamic. The incoming swells and the direction of the wind jointly dictate the ambiance of a surfing day. Throughout most of the year, you'll find powerful northwest swells which are perfect for those who love high adrenaline waves. Cortegaca's maritime climate provides good surfing conditions throughout the year. However, the most favorable time to surf is in the late summer and early autumn. During this period, the combination of warm water and mild air temperatures provide a comfortable surfing environment. The sandy seafloor at Cortegaca makes it a safer choice compared to rocky reef breaks. However, during higher tides, the waves can get quite intense due to deep water channels, making it more challenging to ride the waves. So, it's important for surfers to pay close attention to the tide tables. In conclusion, Cortegaca offers a wide range of surfing conditions, making it an enchanting surfing destination for enthusiasts of all levels. Care should always be taken to respect the ocean's power and unpredictable nature, as well as to respect local customs and norms. As in every surf spot, localism is a reality, and getting to know the local surfing community can greatly enhance your surfing experience.
