0Reef
Waves roll in from deep water and explode with full power on this sharp, shallow reef plateau. Only surf on the smaller days unless you`re a really experienced surfer. Be prepared to pay the price if you aim the barrel.

0Costa da Caparica
This area is rated as one of the most popular surf spots in Lisbon and is a real crowd attraction, both for surfers and beach goers. Luckily most surfers just chose the easiest option and surf between the man-made jetties that keep the sandbars in place. But drive a couple of kilometers to the...

0São João - Poça
This is a city wave and comes with plenty of facilities and plenty of crowds. When it`s on, the level of surfing here gets pretty good and it`s not a rare sight to see Portugese pros ripping it up on their homebreak. A fairly consistent, mid-tide reef with a fun cover up section on the take off....
-
0Monte Estoril
A sectiony, fat, fairly uncrowded righthander that breaks off a man-made jetty. It can handle massive swells and the bigger it gets the further out it will...
-
0Torre
The first surfspot you`ll see in the Tagus estuary coming from Carcavelos. Park at the Forte de São Julião da Barra, located on the headland between Praia de Carcavelos and Praia do Torre. Torre is a very sheltered spot that works best in stormy winter conditions when Carcavelos is too big and...
-
0Cresmina
Cresmina is located right next to the bigger, much better known Praia do Guincho, and is sometimes reffered to as `Little Guincho`. Cresmina has similar conditions to Guincho and is very exposed to all the elements the Atlantic coast has to offer. But unlike Guincho, Cresmina is backed by...
-
0Meio da Baia
A seemingly endless stretch of pristine sand with a plenitude of peaks catering to most levels of surfing. Mostly mellow in the summer, but can get big, heavy and hollow during the winter months. Plenty of space to launch a kite as well with steady winds and open space on the water.
-
0Fonte da Telha
A sheltered alternative when the surf is too big for your level at Costa da Caparica, Fonte de Telha is a peaceful, sleepy town for most of the year, but comes alive during the summer. Wave quality depends on sandbars, swell and wind direction, but is mostly above...
-
0Praia das Maçãs
Praia das Maçãs, also known as the Apple Beach. In the olden days, apples that fell off their trees and into the Ribeira de Colares, were taken downstream and scattered in the ocean at the mouth of the river at Praia das Maçãs: hence the name Apple Beach.
Nowadays, Praia das Maçãs...

0Parede
This is one of the rarest waves to break on the Costa do Estoril, but when a big swell hits Portugal it can turn into a regular footer`s dream with long rideable walls. Most surfers head for the more consistent peaks of Carcavelos, so Parede rarely gets crowded.
