Best Spot: Viana do Castelo

This Beautiful town offers exceptional natural conditions for a variety of watersports, including kiteboarding, strapless kitesurfing, foilboarding, wing foiling, and surfing.
The amazing features that sets this place apart is not just the thrill it offers, but also the safety it guarantees. Therefore on this large sandy beach, you won’t find any major obstacles, treacherous shore breaks, or offshore winds, making it an ideal spot for riders of all levels.
Flatwater area & Waves
CONDITIONS
Cabedelo Beach is a mecca for watersports, you’ve got a little something for everyone:
There’s a flatwater area with at high tide loads of shallow water making it a great place to learn. This is perfect for beginners and also ideal for advanced riders looking to nail some freestyle tricks and catch some massive air.
Also for those who crave wave action, you’re in luck. Downwind from the flatwater area, there’s a cool fun spot with small waves. Then as you head towards Kite Voodoo School, you’ll find medium-sized waves. To finally, if you venture further downwind, finish with some daunting bigger waves for some serious shredding .
The Windiest Kite Spot in Portugal
WIND
Nortada wind, which dominates the Portuguese Atlantic coastline, delivers awesome wind conditions for six whole months. Thanks to the natural surroundings that create a localized thermic effect, this reliable wind gains strength, making Viana do Castelo the ultimate spot for kite and wing lovers.
Now, here’s a little secret: when it comes to wind, you must not always rely on the forecast. On a sunny Nortada day in Viana, you can expect an extra 10-15 knots beyond what the forecast predicts.
That’s why Viana is known as the windiest spot in all of Portugal!
KITESURFING SEASON IN PORTUGAL
Summer Season
The prime months for kite and wing is during summertime, when the thermic effect is up to the max. Starting from April, through May and June, it hits its peak in July and August. September and October has still some good windy days. During this season, you can count on robust north winds consistently blowing at an average speed of 20-30 knots or even more, starting from noon until sunset with the perfect wind direction, side-to-side-on.
Winter Season
Ride all year round at this incredible spot! In the winter season, there's a change in the wind's direction, bringing in southerly breezes. These winds blow right onto Cabedelo Beach,on a side-to-side-on wind direction, just perfect for action. November to March, offer a great opportunity for advanced kiters and wave enthusiasts to conquer some truly amazing waves. For beginners, the winter months may be a bit more of a challenge.
TEMPERATURE
Water Temperature and Wetsuit
Your comfort in the water matters, so here's a little tip depending on the season: For the months of April, May, June, September, and October, we suggest going with a 4/3 wetsuit. It'll keep you cozy and warm specially on a strong windy day! When it comes to July and August, you'll be more than comfortable in a lighter 3/2 suit. The water temperature here can be a bit warmer compared to some other spots in Portugal. That's because of the unique mix of water from the river mouth blending with the Atlantic Ocean.
Wind Direction
Summer months:
Nortada winds: NW – N – NE
Wind direction: side to side-on
Winter months:
Southern wind: SW – S – SE
Wind direction: side to side-on
