Historical data

Location guide

Situated on the west coast of Portugal, Gala offers an excellent setting for surfers of all levels owing to its versatile surfing conditions. The area primarily consists of beach breaks that undergo continuous changes given that they are sanded bottom. This dynamicity of the landscape makes it attractive to surfers who enjoy testing their skills in varying conditions. The surf at Gala tends to peak during the winter months when swells hit their highest and the north winds blow offshore. If you're looking for impressive waves coupled with challenging conditions, then this period is an ideal time. During these winter months, the waves can often reach heights of over 2 meters. The water temperature, however, becomes quite chilly so be sure to bring a high-quality wetsuit. By contrast, the spring, summer, and fall seasons bring in smaller wave sizes, making the area suitable for beginners or intermediate surfers. The winds tend to shift to a more onshore direction too, thereby creating more beginner-friendly conditions. The smaller swells and milder winds during this period provide a great opportunity to practice board control and paddling techniques. While the more crowded summer season may not be appealing to everyone, the vibrant surfing community could serve as an insightful introduction to those new to the sport. Intermediate surfers can particularly benefit during this time by watching and learning from the experienced locals. In conclusion, Gala doesn’t cease to offer surfers a surfeit of opportunities throughout the year. Ranging from solid winter swells for the pros to easy-going summer waves for the beginners, this place has it all. Therefore, no matter your skill level, Gala's diverse surfing conditions can cater to your adventurous spirit and fuel your passion for this exciting water sport.
