Its sweltering temperatures and wide variety of waves make it a great place for surfers of all abilities.

Portugal\u2019s amazing surf is no secret to surfers in Europe and around the world \u2013 there\u2019s a reason that Europe\u2019s only World Surfing Reserve,\u00a0<strong>Ericeira,<\/strong> is located here. Its prime peninsular location in the Atlantic allows it to catch wind from the north, west, and south, making for incredibly consistent swells. Many tourists looking to try their hand at surfing flock to Portugal\u2019s shores to catch some sun, sand, and surf, and\u00a0with\u00a0its\u00a0incredible culture and cuisine,\u00a0it\u2019s truly hard to imagine anyplace better.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n<div>\r\n<hr style=\"width: 100px; height: 2px; border: 0; background-color: #222; margin-left: 0; opacity: 1\" >\r\n<p style=\"margin-top: 1em;\"><em>See Also: <\/em><strong><a href=\"\/days-to-come\/best-hidden-beaches-in-portugal-that-arent-in-the-algarve\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">The Best Hidden Beaches in Portugal<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\r\n<hr style=\"width: 100px; height: 2px; border: 0; background-color: #222; margin-left: 0; opacity: 1\" ><\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You\u2019ll find a wide variety of breaks and swells along Portugal\u2019s extensive west coast, so be sure to hit multiple\u00a0places\u00a0to find the spot that works best for you.\u00a0Make sure your tour hits all the good spots: <strong>Lisbon,\u00a0Nazar\u00e9, Porto, Lagos,<\/strong> and\u00a0<strong>Ericeira.<\/strong> You&#8217;ll\u00a0even\u00a0get a chance to\u00a0walk\u00a0amongst the locals on cobblestone paths,\u00a0and\u00a0have a glass or two of wine between trips to the beach\u00a0for\u00a0surfing lessons.\u00a0Even if you&#8217;ve been surfing before, lessons can be incredibly useful to assess your ability and help you hone your skills.

Known as the \u201cIsland of the Gods,\u201d expert surfers and thrill-seekers have Bali high on their list of surfing destinations \u2013 but don\u2019t take that to mean that Balinese waters aren\u2019t suitable for intermediate surfers, too. One of the reasons for Bali\u2019s popularity is the variety of waves and breaks along its shores. The swells that come from the south are consistent, which means great surf for all abilities, all the time. Though it\u2019s important to pick the right place so that the waves don\u2019t scare you off, once you do, it\u2019ll be the perfect way to advance your surfing skills, and you\u2019ll go from riding the white water to your first wave in no time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The peak surfing season in Bali is from April to October, and the legendary surf is sure to draw loads of surfing pros and beginners alike to Bali\u2019s beaches. However, on the off-season, waves are smaller and more approachable \u2013 perfect for beginner and intermediate surfers. Plus, you\u2019ll avoid the line-ups that can form in the peak season, and the beach won\u2019t be as crowded. Home to an age-old yoga tradition, Bali is the perfect place to discover how surfing and yoga practice complement each other.\u00a0Go island-hopping, from <strong>Lombok<\/strong> and <strong>Nusa <\/strong><g class=\"gr_ gr_9 gr-alert gr_gramm gr_inline_cards gr_run_anim Punctuation only-del replaceWithoutSep\" id=\"9\" data-gr-id=\"9\"><strong>Lembongan,<\/strong><\/g> to Bali\u2019s legendary\u00a0<strong>Canggu<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0<strong>Kuta<\/strong>\u00a0beaches, where you\u2019ll have the opportunity to do other water sports as well.
