As we travel along the coast to the North of Portugal, the landscape begins to shift, offering a refreshing contrast with lush, green hills, dense forests, and diverse natural areas. The climate turns cooler and more humid, making the environment feel even more inviting for a surf trip. The northern region of Portugal is also where the country’s roots are deeply embedded—this was the cradle of the nation, rich in history, and home to traditions that have been preserved for centuries.
This region offers a stunning variety of surf breaks, with everything from long, sandy beaches that seem almost untouched, to more urban settings as you approach cities like Peniche, Figueira da Foz and Porto. Whether you're looking for an isolated surf spot or the energy of a bustling surf town, you'll find it here.
Peniche, known for its world-class surf breaks, is a must-visit for any surfer, offering perfect waves that cater to all levels. Heading further north, Figueira da Foz presents a blend of powerful beach breaks and mellow waves, with the added bonus of less crowded beaches. As we reach Porto, the vibrant city is not just a great place to catch some waves but also a fantastic spot to explore Portugal’s rich urban culture.
When you’re not surfing, there’s plenty to do. You can visit charming historical towns like Óbidos, a medieval village perched on a hilltop, or Nazaré, famous for its giant waves and stunning views. Aveiro, often referred to as the "Venice of Portugal," is a picturesque town with canals and colorful boats, perfect for a relaxing afternoon. And, of course, Porto itself is a city that should be explored in-depth—renowned for its beautiful riverside, its rich history, and the world-famous port wine.
Don’t forget to indulge in the local gastronomy—fresh seafood, delicious pastries, and mouthwatering regional dishes await. From a simple sardine dish on the beach to a gourmet meal in a Porto restaurant, the food here will undoubtedly elevate your surf trip to new heights.
