Sesimbra is a coastal town in Portugal, known for its stunning scenery and a mix of landscapes. While it’s not the first place that comes to mind for surfers, it does offer a few spots that can peel off some decent waves. The area is more famous for its beautiful beaches and picturesque views than for consistent surf, but the right conditions can reveal some fun breaks for those willing to explore.

The surf here works best with a swell coming from the SouthWest and can also handle some waves from the South and NorthWest. It’s generally suited for sizes around 2ft (about 0.6 meters), where you might catch some beach breaks over sand. The waves can roll both left and right, giving you options depending on where you find yourself in the water. Northeastern winds are preferable, and the conditions can be good during low, mid, or high tides. Keep in mind that this spot is better suited for intermediate surfers, so you'll want to be somewhat comfortable on your board.

While the surf isn’t the standout feature of Sesimbra, it can be a nice change of pace if you find yourself in the area. Just check the forecasts for those rare days when the swell is right, and be ready to explore some less-traveled spots along the coastline.
