The Surf
The coastline near Santa Cruz, Portugal, is a hidden gem for surfers, offering a mix of beach breaks and reef breaks with year-round swell. The prime surf season runs from autumn through spring, when Atlantic swells deliver consistent (and larger) waves. Praia da Mexilhoeira provides fun waves for all levels, while other nearby breaks cater to more advanced surfers looking for powerful, challenging conditions. With dramatic cliffs, pristine beaches, and fewer crowds than other spots along the Silver Coast, this area is ideal for surfers seeking both quality waves and scenic beauty.
