The
Portuguese coast provides some very acceptable windsurfing conditions
accompanied by the tendency for the winds to be reasonably constant
in force. These winds mostly average between Force 3 to 5.
A
particularly good windsurfing beach is the famous "Guincho"
east of the city of Lisbon. The waves here can range from
one to three metres but an under-current has to be constantly considered.
Another popular location is "Praia Grande" on the
north coast.
In
the Algarve there are many windsurfing centres on the beach that
will rent equipment. |
