Surf spot guide · Lisbon, Portugal
Fonte da Telha offers consistent beach breaks south of Lisbon, ideal for year-round surfing.
Fonte da Telha is a long sandy beach break located just south of Lisbon, popular with both locals and visitors. The waves are generally mellow to punchy, making it suitable for beginners and intermediates, but bigger winter swells also attract more advanced surfers. The spot works best on a rising to high tide with southwest swells and offshore northeast winds. Hazards include strong currents, occasional shorebreak, and a crowded lineup during weekends and summer. The area is surrounded by natural pine forests, providing a scenic surf experience. Facilities are available, but parking can be limited on busy days.
