This is a fantastic vid'! So many times I have heard "great beginner spot" and you get there and it might be a beginner if you're from Australia, but for those of us learning in the UK, it's all relative! Having surfed around Lisbon, the description for each beach's level for UK surfers is spot on. Thanks Matt!

Hi Matt thinking about coming over to Nazarth to watch some big wave surfing. What’s the best time, best way to get there from Lisbon airport and places to stay. Thanks in advance Ian

not involving the cascais/lisbon area is criminal. Some of the best waves are in guincho and carcavelos

Great content Matt. I am gonna be in Algarve (between sines and aljezur) full December this year, when are you planning to release the autumn/winter video? Looking forward to have it

pleasw dont come, you are just coming here and make more polution and consume the resources, fu# surf tourism!

Hey Matt, I went to Lagos for surfing, but the waves were shit so everyone reading this don’t go to Lagos for surfing and stay home. On the bright side, I met this girl, so I’ll still drop a like. Thanks anyway!

Hi Matt, having stayed in Alvor for holidays a couple of times, loved it. Visited Lagos for an afternoon and LOVED the place! In August we are holidaying just North of Lagos town. On that beach just the other side of the jetty. If I can steal a day or two away from the family (we are there for two weeks this time 😃👍🏻) I’d like to hire a longboard and have a lesson or two. I do surf in the UK, in Wales and Devon and Cornwall. I’m not great but love it. Moved to longboards as I’m a bit older and not very supple. Are there surf companies I could hire a log and have a lesson or go surf for the day with them? I’ll take my wetsuits, 1-3ft gliding would be awesome but need to learn to get to the rear of the board and turn! Love the Portugal vibe vlogs, nice work 🤙🏼

Spot recommendations for Ericiera? Sweet video.

Cool video! I’m planning to go at the end of October but can’t decide between Lagos and Sagres. My level: I can catch green waves sometimes, and I’m working on positioning myself in the right direction. It wouldn’t hurt if the water was a bit warmer. I’m planning to rent a car, and I only have 3 days, so sticking to one spot would be fine.

Please don’t. We have enough tourists as is

It seems like they changed the model or something, when i click on the link the hat looks different. Ive had this had for a few years and i love it. Not problem duck diving my body board. The strap is starting to come apart and i want to buy a new one but cant find one for sale anywhere! I love the flip up visor and the good sun protection. I dont care if i look like a dork haha.

Great video

Have you surfed any of these spots? How was it?

you forgot Nazaré wich is super beguiner friendly

Thanks mate! Heading to Portugal in a couple of days and getting a campervan to explore the surff so this was exactly what I needed!

What are your thoughts on Zavial ? I've seen some beautiful barrels there when there was a big swell with the good direction. It was nice looking at the advanced surfers from the beach :D

Thank you! That was really helpful

I bet locals love you...what a muppet

max support for you, bro. super useful content, thanx a lot, keep going

Moving to Burgau in 4 weeks! Wanna be surfer 🏄‍♀️ 🌊

Great video, enjoyed the length and tips.

What do you do in terms of work in Portugal , what job oportunities can one find as a EU citizen ?

Nice video Matt. I too learned to surf in S Wales so you can understand why I love Portugal so much! I'll look out for you the next time I'm in Lagos.

Oh… My… Goodness! I’ve had holidays in Alvor and last time we took a day out and went to Lagos. Loved the place! Surf shops and I saw surfers leaving home with their boards. This has made me really excited and wanting to travel to a Portugal to surf. A few years ago a decent swell was rolling into Alvor and I walked down the beach asking the lifeguards if anyone had a surfboard I could borrow, they only had SUPs! Maybe next time 🙏🏼🤞🏼

Someone’s a fan of Anchorman! 🤣

You forgot Zavial or were you keeping that secret lol, to be fair hardly ever works but when it does its Epic!! Just got back from 10 days on my friends farm near Aljezur. I'm a 30 yr veteran of that area, been surfing here since before time, and all the build up of tourists and buildings. It's still my favorite area to surf, and if I have one favorite its Praia de Amoreira or Arrifana.

I’ve heard Nazare is a great for beginners, especially because you always have a jet ski nearby in case you fall or if you’re learning to duck dive. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

You don't know nothing Jhon Snow

Tom Carolls snap at pipe 💪🏼

Yeewwwwww! Great vid 🤙🏽

Cabedelo at Figueira da Foz. Thank me later.

I love beginner waves even though I am not😂 love the movie clips in the editing. You Must be watching tons of movie after a good day of surf 🏄‍♂️

Thank you SO much!!

nice review, i spend every winter in Portugal, so i know all those beaches :) but Baleal being my fav

I’m from Spain and I’ve been lucky to have surfed in all spots you mentioned (except Porto and Lagos. Last one always saw it flat). My fav of them all is Arrifana. Not only for its waves but the beach itself. Its just magical. Also a huge fan of Baleal and Peniche! Very nice summary ;)

TáClássico em Peniche

you should ease up on the memes mate. it can get a bit annoying. Also it might be a good idea to record a bit further away from your face if possible. Cheers

Melhor dica do vídeo: não se aproximem de Carca nem do Guincho!

Salut Matt, Merci pour ta vidéo. Je rentre du Portugal, nous étions à Lagos ! super ville, super ambiance, on a adoré. J'ai pu surfer à Tonel, Sagres, c'était cool. Comme tu dis, plein de surf spots à découvrir, joli pays ! bye.🌊🌊🏄🌅🤙

mf dont come here

I have both the indo and no zone.awsome hats,the no zone worked good paddleboarding. The indo for surfing. Love both hats. Especially for this humid and hot summer

Nice. Good video. What is best beaches closest to Albufeira?

Ah haaa! Flappgood ❤ love the cheeky inserts 👌🏼

We dont speak spanish, you should know that living here for 5 years !

Anybody know if rubbing alcohol will work or hurt an epoxy surfboard?

why didn't you tell anything about the strong heavy ultra consistent northwest winds that hit the Algarve during summer months?

Treasure find. Thanks man

Hi Matt! Nice channel and great vid! Cheers from Sagres :)

you better believe you did good by not including my homebreak...

Thank you! I’m moving to Portugal soon, looking for a new home, so that was helpful. I have never been there, but I feel the calling🙂
