When one recalls that Portugal has been known as the California of Europe for all water sports enthusiasts, Sagres immediately comes to our mind – here you can have it all.
From surfing to kayaking, diving, paddleboarding, sailing and fishing, among others, your time is the limit. Certainly, its weather conditions make this place unique for windsurfing as well.
Here the Portuguese north wind called “Nortada” gets accelerated by the surrounding landscape when other parts of the Algarve are calm. In fact, since Algarve is the Portuguese desert, Sagres is the perfect spot to enjoy the heat with a breeze on the hottest days of the year. The windiest month is December, and the calmest month is September, and usually afternoons are more suited for experienced windsurfers when the wind is much stronger.
Besides wind, Sagres offer other ideal conditions for windsurfing, such as waves and wide beaches. You might explore Tonel beach and Ponta Ruiva beach for this adventure, but the most famous one, which attracts dozens of riders every day and even welcomes championships, is Martinhal. This stunning beach, just 20 minutes walking away from Sagres Sun Stay, is known for offering the best windsurfing conditions in Europe for beginners and professionals. Away from the crowded beaches in Algarve, in Martinhal beach you can even get windsurf lessons.
Feel free to let us know if you are interested, and we will arrange them for you.
