  • Warm weather +15+25
  • Not cold ocean water +15+18
  • Affordable rental prices
  • Quality, varied and not expensive food (Restaurants)
  • Empty beaches with varied waves for kite surfing

The weather in winter depends mainly on cyclones, depending on which side the cyclone comes from, the wind direction, water and air temperature will depend. Most cyclones come from the Atlantic Ocean and bring warm and steady winds and warm and humid weather.

Kitesurfing Portugal winter

The biggest disadvantage of kitesurfing in Portugal in the winter is that:

  • You can’t rely on forecast in advance, it can change 3 times a day, the best way to find out if the wind is blowing or not is to go out to the balkon and watch
  • The same selection of kite on the ride – now blowing 30 knots but the forecast shows that it should be 20 knots, so think what to take in order not to lose.
