Why September and October Are the Best Months to Surf in Lisbon?

When summer ends, many assume it’s time to pack away the surfboards, but here in Lisbon, September and October offer some of the best surfing conditions of the year. If you’re considering surfing in Lisbon, now’s the time to book your spot. Let us show you why these two months are still amazing for catching waves and exploring the city.

1. Warm Weather, Perfect Waves

Even though summer is officially over, Lisbon enjoys a mild climate well into October. With average daytime temperatures between 23-28°C (73-82°F) and the Atlantic Ocean still holding onto its warmth, surfing in Lisbon during September and October is comfortable for beginners and seasoned surfers alike.

Moreover, this is the time when the autumn swells start rolling in, offering more consistent and slightly bigger waves—ideal for progression! Whether you’re just learning the basics or refining your skills, the conditions are excellent for daily surf lessons.

2. Fewer Crowds, More Waves for You

One of the best things about surfing in September and October is the drop in tourist numbers. Lisbon’s beaches are noticeably quieter compared to the height of summer. This means more space for you in the lineup and a more relaxed vibe both in the water and on the shore.

With fewer crowds, you’ll enjoy a more personalised experience in our surf lessons. It’s the perfect time to focus on improving your technique, whether you’re catching whitewash for the first time or riding the green waves.

3. Great Surf, Amazing City Vibes

What makes this time of year even more special is the blend of surf and city life. After a morning session in the waves, the city of Lisbon is waiting for you to explore. Autumn in Lisbon brings fewer tourists, making it easier to experience the local charm, from exploring the picturesque streets of Alfama to tasting Portuguese cuisine in quieter, more relaxed settings.

Plus, September and October host a range of events and festivals in Lisbon, offering a unique cultural experience to pair with your surf trip. It’s the perfect way to end the day after riding waves!
