The Algarve<\/h5>\n

In the Algarve<\/a> you will find the \u201cNortada\u201d. This<\/span> Portuguese north wind is accelerated by the surrounding landscape which creates wind speeds of between 13 and 30 knots that build throughout the day. The mornings are best for beginner lessons as the wind is much lighter, whereas the afternoons are much better suited for the more experienced windsurfers as the wind is much stronger. This northerly wind blows cross offshore at Sagres<\/span> and Meia<\/span> Praia, but side shore at the wave spots on the West Coast.<\/p>\n

\"Martinhal-Beach\"<\/p>\n

In the Algarve, you will find the area of Meia Praia. This 2km long stretch of sandy beach offers conditions for all windsurf levels. There is a very safe learning zone making it perfect for beginners.  The Windsurf Centre Meia Praia Beach<\/a> is our partner centre, offering a full range of courses from beginner to advanced, as well as rentals.<\/p>\n

\"Sagres-windsurf\"<\/p>\n

Sagres is located on the very tip of Portugal where the Atlantic ocean takes a 90-degree turn towards the Mediterranean. Wave fanatics can have a chance at getting massive airs at Tonel, and just a few minutes away is the stunning beach of Martinhal<\/a> which has an international Windsurf Centre located at Martinhal<\/a> Hotel that offers great instruction and rentals.<\/p>\n
