Location guide

Sao Jacinto, located on the western coast of Portugal, is a remarkable surfing destination that offers a unique blend of natural beauty and highly pleasing surf conditions for aficionados. It lies within a niche ecosystem, a narrow dunes’ peninsula, with the ocean on one side and the enchanting Aveiro Lagoon on the other. This amazing geographical formation contributes to its surfing character. The surfing conditions in Sao Jacinto primarily depend on the season and accompanying weather patterns. You'll find the largest swells, ranging anywhere from two to five meters, during the winter months, typically from October through March. These swells, originating from the Atlantic, provide powerful, challenging waves, suited for more experienced surfers seeking a thrilling ride. The water temperature, although variable, tends to be cooler, often settling around 12-15 degrees Celsius in these winter months, thus making a good quality wetsuit a vital part of your surfing gear. Despite the chill, these conditions create an exhilarating surfing environment as the strong winds generate crisp, clear barrels for the daring of heart. In contrast, the summer months from April to September provide a more relaxed and beginner-friendly environment. The waves during this period are generally smaller, averaging around one to two meters, perfect for individuals learning the ropes or if you prefer a casual, leisurely surf. Water temperatures rise to a more comfortable 17-22 degrees Celsius, making extended sessions on the board a possibility without a thicker wetsuit. In Sao Jacinto, the dominant swell direction is from the west, resulting in right-hand waves that many surfers prefer. However, the area's unique geographical orientation also invites swells from the northwest and southwest, allowing for varied and less predictable wave patterns that seasoned surfers can truly appreciate. Crowding is less of an issue in Sao Jacinto compared to many other surfing locations. It offers you ample space to catch a wave, primarily due to its somewhat overlooked status in international surfing circles. Therefore, if you're in search of solitude and an intimate communion with the waves, Sao Jacinto could be a lovely choice. In conclusion, irrespective of your skill level, whether you're a seasoned veteran chasing those big winter swells or a beginner seeking gentler summer waves, Sao Jacinto in Portugal can provide a rich surfing experience. Its unique geographic layout offering varied wave forms and less populated environment ensures a tranquil setting for you to indulge in the thrill of surfing.
