When to surf · Lisbon and Cascais
Cascais in June
Summer proper begins. Small, gentle surf, warming water, and the nortada starting to blow in the afternoons. Learner season is on; book camps and lessons ahead.
Cascais
For the Cascais town beaches, only a big winter swell wakes them up. Guincho surfs best autumn to spring; through summer it belongs to the wind and kite crowd on the afternoon nortada. Beginners are better off taking the train out to Carcavelos or Caparica in any season.
