Beach break · Matosinhos
Leca da Palmeira
A beach break just north of Leixões harbour, beside Álvaro Siza's famous tidal pools. Exposed to every west swell, with barrels on offshore mornings and a hard paddle when it is big.

Beach break · Matosinhos
Matosinhos
Porto's home beach, a metro ride from the city, with a long sandy stretch between two harbour walls and a busy scene of surf schools. Sheltered and forgiving at the south end.
