Historical data

Location guide

At Praia Paredes, Portugal, the surfing conditions are shaped by the unique geographical features, marine climate, and tidal patterns of this area. This region is known for its year-round swell, making it a preferred spot among discerning surfers. A variety of wave types can be encountered here, from powerful hollow waves that offer thrilling rides, to more mellow waves that are great for beginners or longboarding. Praia Paredes bathes in a favorable marine climate that makes it an ideal surfing location almost all-year-round. Even during the winter, wave consistency remains impressively high, partly due to the Northwestern Atlantic swells that the beach is exposed to. Throughout the year, it is not uncommon for waves to reach anything between 1 to 3 metres. However, it is worth noting that the optimal wave direction is from the north. The beach break at Praia Paredes offers both left and right-hand waves. These varying wave directions provide diverse surfing opportunities, perfect for both regular and goofy riders. Due to the presence of several sandbars along the beach's length, this spot rarely gets crowded, giving surfers plenty of room to catch the best waves. Concerning tides, it's key to note that Praia Paredes has a semi-diurnal tide, which means two high tides and two low tides occur daily. The place boasts a variable tidal range, which can significantly influence wave quality and size. Surfing conditions are usually at their best around mid to high tide, as low tide can sometimes cause the waves to close out too quickly, particularly during larger swells. Wind direction at Praia Paredes also significantly impacts the surfing conditions. A wind coming from an easterly direction usually generates the best conditions, as it creates an offshore airflow that shapes the waves into cleaner, more rideable forms. On the other hand, winds blowing from the west result in onshore conditions that can make the sea choppy and the waves disorganized. In essence, the surfing conditions at Praia Paredes, Portugal, are characterized by year-round swell, a variety of wave types, consistency in waves, favorable tidal patterns, and wind-dependent wave quality. The combination of these factors creates a dynamic surfing environment that caters to a wide spectrum of surfers, from beginners to experienced riders.
