The North of Portugal might be considered the less explored area by surfers, a place where the water is colder and the exposure to the heavier swells is larger. It also has areas for minor swells and warm summer days.

 

In Oporto, the Praia Internacional is indicated for beginners, while the Direita do Casino is one of the most challenging spots for the sport. However it is an area where every surfer will find suitable waves due to the unlimited amount of beach breaks.

 

The cultural and gastronomical richness of the North will make unforgettable marks on your surf experience and makes it even better. The Welcoming environment and Nightlife, the typical Francesinhas at Capa Negra or Café Santiago and the pastries at Doce Mar, make it worth the visit!
