When to surf · Lisbon and Cascais
Cascais in March
The swell starts to settle but the water is at its coldest of the year. Quiet line-ups and low-season prices. A good month for improvers who want size without the winter chaos.
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.
