Almagreira in Portugal is a consistent surf spot with year-round swell, but the best conditions for surfers are typically found during the winter and early spring months. From January to March, the swell is predominantly ground swell (83-91%), which provides cleaner and more powerful waves, averaging 2.3-2.7 meters. These months offer the largest and most reliable waves, though wind conditions are less favorable with only 21-26% good wind days due to stronger onshore winds. April begins a transitional period, with ground swells decreasing but still present (64%), while October to December sees a return of better swell consistency (66-85%) and slightly improved wind conditions (23-27% good wind days). Summer months (May-August) are dominated by wind swells, resulting in smaller, choppier waves (1.5-1.7m) and poor wind conditions (only 13-18% good wind days). September marks the start of the autumn rebound, with a mix of ground and wind swells. Overall, experienced surfers will find the best waves from late autumn through early spring, particularly November to February, when swell size and quality peak despite challenging winds. Intermediate surfers may prefer the shoulder seasons (April, October) for more manageable conditions, while summer is best suited for beginners due to smaller waves, albeit with less ideal wind.
