THE SPOT IN VIANA DO CASTELO

Praia do Cabedelo

With good sun, winds and waves, the nature of Praia do Cabedelo supports the perfect ingredients for the practice of windsurfing, kitesurfing, wing foiling, stand-up paddling and surfing, referred to as one of the best places in Europe for fans of these sports.

Throughout the year it is possible to find good conditions, but especially from April to September when you can take advantage of thermal winds consistent with an average of 25 knots. It's bay-like configuration and presence of the pier in the north confers unique safety conditions, making the spot one of the best in Europe for kite and windsurfing. In terms of surf, bodyboard and SUP, it offers excellent swell conditions, especially from October to May. Offshore winds, remain only in the summer mornings, making the beach a reference point for surfing at all its levels of experience.

The spot has several areas that favor the most experienced to those who are starting in these sports, where they can practice safely. Our courses also help to promote a more lively and dynamic atmosphere in this place, where you can be guided by our experienced and certified instructors.

We also have a well-equipped center for all your needs, hot showers, lockers for all the sports equipment and a perfect position for a view and analysis of the spot itself and the weather conditions.
