With two coastlines facing completely different directions (giving you the options in pretty much every wind direction) the chances of finding decent waves in this region of Portugal at that time of year are almost a dead cert.<\/div>\n<div>\n\t&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div>\n\tThe west coast is a wild, unspoilt area potected from development because its a National Park. Here you&#39;ll find bay after bay of west facing punchy beach breaks with the odd point and reef thrown into the mix as well. With cranking beachies and huge cliffs to look at as you&#39;re racing down the line it almost feels a bit like Cornwall on steriods. Let&#39;s not forget about the south coast though as if the devil winds are howling on the west coast you then have endless offshore options to choose from. You&#39;ll have everything on the south coast from mellow beach breaks to thumping barrels.&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div>\n\t&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div>\n\tTo add to the array of world class waves on offer, the water in Autumn\/Spring is around 20 degrees which means you&#39;ll be happy as larry in your 3.2 wetty and the weather averages out at pleasant 22-25 degrees.<\/div>\n<div>\n\t<br \/>\n\t<a href=\"http:\/\/blog.tickettoridegroup.com\/?p=1065\">Next Trip &#8211; 29th May &#8211; 5th June in Algarve&nbsp;<\/a><\/div>\n<div>\n\t&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div>\n\tA few things you need to know about Portugal&#8230;.<\/div>\n<ul>\n<li>\n\t\tTheir most famous and successful Surfer is Tiago Pires.
