"The west coast above Sagres has some spectacular beaches. At each one the rock formations and sand colour is different as are the currents and waves. Add some weather and wind to this mixture and there you have limitless options for surfing at any standard."

"At Praia da Amado, the long flat sandy beach provides excellent waves for beginners and dramatic 'white water' for more advanced surfers.
This beach is very popular with the surfing schools so you can go along and have a look at what is involved before you commit yourself."

WEATHER - "Throughout the year the Algarve offers some of the best climatic conditions in Europe, thanks to the proximity of the Gulf Stream and North Africa. The region offers over 3000 hours of sunlight per year, an average of 8 hours per day. Rain primarily falls between November and March, although it may continue into April.

The annual temperature range in the Algarve varies between 15/35ÂºC. During winter, the temperature never drops below 0Âº, and while your may experience a few hours of rain, the sun soon returns warming protected areas to 20 to 30ÂºC. The average temperature of the Atlantic Coastal waters is in the order of 21/22ÂºC. In Summer, high temperatures in the interior of Portugal may created areas of low pressure which in turn can result in refreshing sea breezes along the coast."
