The spot, Cabedelo beach, offers a flatwater zone, perfect for beginners, with the most expansive shallow water area during high tide.

Depending on the season, we recommend a 4/3 wetsuit for April, May, June, September, and October, and a 3/2 wetsuit for July and August.
The water temperature surpasses that of other spots in Portugal as deep Atlantic ocean locations, or lagoons. This is due to the blend of warmer water from the river mouth mixing to the Atlantic Ocean, ensuring a more enjoyable experience.

Viana do Castelo:
Windiest Spot in Portugal
The Nortada wind, prevailing along the Portuguese Atlantic coastline, provides consistent wind conditions for an extended period of six months. This reliable wind gains strength due to the natural surroundings that generates a local thermic effect.
This is the reason Viana do Castelo is the windiest spot of Portugal!
Kitesurfing Portugal: summer season
The best months for kitesurf and other water sports coincide with the summer season when the thermic effect is at its maximum.
This exciting season commences in April, continues through May and June, and reaches its peak in July and August. As September unfolds, the wind calms down, until the end of October.
Expect robust north winds, consistently blowing at an average speed of 20-30 knots or more. Wind usually starts from noon until sunset and reach the shore side to side on.
Kitesurfing Portugal: winter season
Experience year-round riding at this exceptional spot!
During the winter season, there’s a shift in wind direction, ushering in southerly winds. These southern winds with a milder temperature, reach the beach of Cabedelo, side to side-on.
Winter months, from November through March, present the opportunity for advanced kiters and waves lovers to hone their kiteboard skills and to ride amazing waves. Novices kitesurfers may find it more challenging during this season.
