Leça is a surf spot located near the coastal town of Leça da Palmeira in Portugal. This spot is generally suited for beginners and offers a laid-back atmosphere. With its sandy beach layout, it provides a variety of wave conditions depending on the swell and wind. It’s not the most famous spot around, which can sometimes mean fewer crowds, especially on average days.

The optimal swell direction at Leça is from the west, but it can also pick up swells coming from the south and northwest. It usually handles swell sizes starting from about 1 ft (0.3 m) and breaks over sand which is good for less experienced surfers. You can catch waves coming in both left and right, making it a versatile spot. For the best experience, east winds are preferable, and the waves tend to perform well during low, mid, and high tide.

While Leça might not always have the best surf, it's a decent place to work on your skills without the intense pressure of more crowded spots. If it’s flat here, it's likely flat elsewhere too, so you might want to check the conditions before heading out. Overall, it’s a solid choice for beginners looking to catch some waves and enjoy the beach vibe.
