Today's Surf Conditions at Aguaadoura
Best Surf Season & Climatology
Best Surf Season (October - March)
Aguaadoura is a pure North Atlantic surf spot, and the full force of the winter storm track arrives between October and March. Average swell heights sit between 7ft and 9ft (2.1m and 2.7m), mean periods hover in the powerful 10.9-12.6s range, and offshore ENE-E-ESE-SE winds blow clean 40-52% of the time. When the Azores High retreats and the NAO tilts negative, extratropical cyclones line up west of Portugal and aim long-period W, WNW and NW groundswell into this west-facing stretch. These are the months when the sandbars hold their shape and the beach delivers consistent, heavy, firing surf.
