Perfect Conditions for Beginners
In autumn, temperatures are still pleasant and the waters of Sagres, especially on the south coast, remain inviting. The combination of milder winds and consistent swells makes this the perfect time of year to learn to surf.
- Gentle, Consistent Waves : The beaches on the south coast, such as Mareta and Barranco , are famous for their gentle, predictable waves in the fall. Swells from the west/northwest still arrive, but at a more moderate rate, allowing beginners to gradually build up confidence.
- Fewer Crowds: Another great benefit of learning to surf in the fall is the fewer surfers in the water. The beaches are calmer, allowing you to focus on learning without the pressure of summer crowds.
